We wish him every success in his new role!

Last year Michael swam a distance of 5000 meters in 2:30hrs and raised just over £600.00 for Marie Curie Cancer Care. This year he hope’s to beat both by completing the same distance but setting a time of under 2
hours!

The Placement Group, along with friends, family and colleagues are all proud sponsors of the Swimathon and are looking forward to seeing Michael beat his record!
- Best of Luck Mike!


The London Marathon took place last Sunday without the presence of our Contracts Coordinator, Michael Crossley. Unfortunately Michael was forced to withdraw from the race due to injury a few weeks prior, which is a great shame as we were sure his performance would have rivalled that of the elites! Nevertheless Michael has already secured his place on London’s streets for 2013, giving him plenty of time to train and fundraise for his chosen charity Epilepsy Action.

You may have heard the amazing news announced on March 16th that The UK CF Gene Therapy Consortium secured their funding for the gene therapy clinical trial. The Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) have awarded £3.1 million to the UK CF Gene Therapy Consortium through the Efficiency and Mechanism Evaluation (EME) programme. It has also been announced that there will be a second lab-based study, funded by a £1.2 million MRC grant and led by the University of Oxford, to investigate a more advanced version of the gene therapy using a modified virus to carry the replacement gene into the lungs.

Tomorrows have been heavily involved in the fundraising in the lead up to the trial announcement, and released the following statement:

“Tomorrows are incredibly proud to be involved in the process of fundraising for the UK Gene Therapy Programme. We are delighted that the EME programme has agreed on a grant. We hope that our £150,000 donation was in some way helpful in gaining much needed funds to see the Gene Therapy work through to the next stage. We are hopeful that this is a pivotal point in the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis."

On Saturday March 24th the 2nd Annual Tomorrows/Old Parkonians Charity Football Day took place at Oakfield. At an incredibly well attended event which managed to raise an amazing £18,593 for Tomorrows. 51 Old Parks Legends ranging in age from 35 to 69 dusted off their boots and rolled back the years to take part. The weather certainly played a part and more than made up for the quality of football on display!

The money raised will go directly to the UK Cystic Fibrosis Gene Therapy Programme who embark on a 2 year programme this year to try and find a cure for CF to remove the life threatening element of the disease.

Tim Cross, the founder of the charity commented; “We are so incredibly grateful for all the support that Tomorrows received on Saturday and over the past year. To all those who played, their families, all those who contributed and everyone who helped out we can only say a massive thank you. Without your help and generosity Tomorrows would never have been able to raise the £150,000 we contributed to help get the Gene Therapy Programme funded initially.”

The Placement Group would like commend and congratulate Tomorrows for their enormous efforts in helping make this ground breaking trial a reality!

The donation of £250 was kindly received by both parties.

As a company, The Placement Group are always trying to support charity efforts when and where we can. We feel Great Ormond Street do a fantastic job to help save children’s lives, develop new treatments and support the remarkable patients and families under their care, so we hope we can continue to raise money and support GOSHC throughout 2012

Tomorrows were also very grateful for the donation, and as an organisation founded by a close personal friend of Steve Porter’s, our Managing Director, has since become a Charity of Choice to the Placement Group of companies.

Tomorrows raises money to fund specific needs and projects related to Cystic Fibrosis and are committed to help both the research funding needs and to help improve the lives of those living with the genetic disease. - Tomorrows continue to organise fundraising auctions, golf days, marathon’s and walks in a bid to raise funds for their work, currently with 40 runners being sponsored to don the 13.1 mile Royal Parks Half Marathon in October.

Members of The Placement Group are more than happy to offer our support and donations to well deserving charities, however big or small!
