Martin & Co Reach New Heights
Martin & Co Operations Director Jeremy Ogborne completed a charity abseil this week!
The abseil took place on Sunday the 8th of November and involved Jeremy and golfing friend, Bud Slaney, abseiling down the water tower at Tower Park, the name says it all! Abseiling is no mean feat any way but climbing down an awkwardly shaped tower which stands at 120 feet tall is a great achievement.
On reaching the bottom Jeremy was delighted. "I've done some challenging things in my time and this certainly ranks up there with the best of them. It was great fun and more importantly we have raised money for a fantastic cause."
Jeremy's friend Bud, is no stranger to challenging situations having worked in the armed forces for 25 years, operating in the Falklands, the Gulf, the Balkans and Northern Ireland.
The duo are confident about reaching their £2,000 target and are grateful for all of the support that friends and members of the public have shown them. Any money raised will go to Dorset Scope to enable Ewan to spend time at their short stay respite home, Smithers. For Ewan to spend a week at Smithers costs £2000.
Jeremy commented, "It was great to see over 100 people turn up and support us at the abseil on Sunday. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone at Barton-on-Sea Golf Club, Pen Pushers Golf Society and to everyone that's donated so far. We would also like to thank Hamworthy Outdoor Education Centre (HOEC) who helped us with the abseil and made sure everything was safe and secure."
If you would like to donate money towards the cause, then please email Jeremy.ogborne@martinco.com and request a sponsorship form.
