Cobra Group supports Ann-Marie Dillion's half-marathon

2011-08-07T22:54:00.000-07:00

The Cobra Group recently did something notable; the company, through the Cobra Foundation supported Ann-Marie Dillion when she ran a half-marathon to raise money for the Oesophageal Cancer Fund. This in fact is no news as regards the company, which has always been supporting noble causes all around the world.

Ann-Marie Dillion lost a friend to Oesophageal cancer early this year and hence she got involved with the organisation in a big way. The Oesophageal Cancer Fund (OCF) is a voluntary organisation, a registered charity set up in 2001 by friends of Lucilla Hyland. The purpose was to raise awareness of the symptoms of oesophageal cancer and provide money for research.

Ann-Marie Dillion ran her first half-marathon on June 26. Her intention was to raise £ 1,000 for the Oesophageal Cancer Fund. She put her heart and soul into it, training herself intensely. She has this to say, “I have been training since March, mostly in the early hours of the morning before work...One of the biggest challenges in preparation for this run has been adapting to running in 30 degree plus heat. However, training outdoors has allowed me to become acclimatized to the running conditions and it paid off on race day...Over the last six weeks, I have being training in KLCC Park, which is a great facility and setting adjacent to the Petronas twin towers, the tallest sky-scrapers in Kuala Lumpur. The view from the running track is breathtaking”.

The half-marathon was a thrilling experience for Ann-Marie. Here's her comment about the experience, “It was such a great experience! This was my first half marathon and hopefully one of many!”
The Cobra Group, through the Cobra Foundation supported Ann-Marie Dillion in this noble endeavour in a very notable manner.

Cobra Group makes news by helping a dedicated couple in raising money for underprivileged kids in Sierra Leone.

Nigel Eastwood and his Wife Vijaya have been representing a charity organisation based in rural Lancashire, an organisation that works mainly for the badly affected Kailahun District of Sierra Leone in Africa. (Sierra Leone, it should be remembered, is the twelfth-lowest-ranked country on the Human Development Index and eighth-lowest on the Human Poverty Index and is afflicted with issues like endemic corruption and suppression of the press.) The organisation that Nigel and Vijaya represent was formed in 2006 and works closely with the Church, Education Department, Hospitals and the Schools in Kailahun. Cobra Group, through the Cobra Foundation has been supporting the couple in this noble endeavour. Recently when Nigel and Vijaya took part in a sporting event conducted in Manchester, with the intention to raise £3000.00 to buy a vehicle to transport the children in Kailahun, the Cobra Group sponsored them and thus stood by them.

Such ventures by the Cobra Group have resulted in making it much more than a mere sales and marketing company.

While on the one hand The Cobra Group meets customers and educates them on the needs of making donations to charity, the company also does all that is possible to promote the activities and functions of its clients. The company facilitates the making of donations to charities and not-for-profit organisations and never collects funds on behalf of the clients.

It has to be noted that last year, there was a 16 percent increase in donations being made through face-to-face fundraising.
