Henrys Angels support the MoonWalk London to raise awareness of Breast Cancer
Gillingham, 13 May 2013 Henrys Angels, a group of volunteers from Henry Schein UK, one of the leading providers of health care products and services to office-based dental, medical and animal health practitioners in the United Kingdom, and based in Gillingham, Kent, supported the MoonWalk London on Saturday, 11 May 2013. The MoonWalk is organised by breast cancer grant making charity walkthewalk which has to date raised over 84 million for vital breast cancer care and cancer research causes. The MoonWalk London is already in its 16th year. Led by Henrys Angels, a total of 54 volunteers the largest number of volunteers that walkthewalk have ever had join them from one company made their way to Battersea Power Station to take on the massive task of organising the Baggage Tent as volunteer Crew. Travelling from Henry Scheins Gillingham location for the 6.00 pm to Midnight shift, the volunteers made up mainly of Henry Schein team members from Gillingham and Maidstone but also including some of their family members and a supplier partners (Diverse Catering) helped to look after the 17,000 bra-clad walkers who were raising money for this important cause. Apart from the responsibility of safekeeping the thousands of bags, and ensuring the weary walkers didnt have a long wait when they returned, walkthewalk was looking to Henrys Angels for their special brand of enthusiasm to cheer and spur on the walkers throughout the evening. Henrys Angels was formed in January 2011 by Team Schein Members Ellie Nightingale, Lyn Yorke and Lynsey van Wyk who wanted to put together a long lasting programme of volunteers wishing to give something back to the local community. Henrys Angels have gone from strength to strength, so far organizing 11 projects that have included over 120 volunteers and 2,700 hours. The Angels support four projects each year and have already received tremendous support from local companies, hotels and services. Henrys Angels believe that time is the most valuable commodity they can give and together they can make a big difference. Henrys Angels are part of Henry Schein Cares, the global corporate social responsibility program of Henry Schein, Inc., which helps increase access to care for underserved populations through three focus areas: wellness, prevention, and treatment; emergency preparedness and relief; and health care capacity building. more
