Logistex

Logistex have been raising money throughout 2013 for a handful of chosen charities, and the Extra Mile challenge is the climax of all the events. Extra Mile has selected charities, which one third of monies raised will go towards, however the other two thirds are going to Logistex chosen charities. Firstly is Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity. With over 220,000 patient visits every year, raising money enables the hospital to provide world class care and to pioneer new treatments and cures for childhood illnesses and support to young patients and their families. Secondly, and the charity that is closest to all Logistex staff, past and present, is Neil Burton's Stem Cell Journey. Neil Burton is our IT Technical Supervisor and has been a member of the Logistex team for 5 years. In 2009 Neil fell ill with two rare conditions called Transverse Myelitis & Guillain Barre Syndrome which attacked his nervous system. Four years on he is confined to a wheelchair and still reliant on a ventilator for his breathing. Neil has been left severely disabled and requires 24 hour care. Neil has been an inspiration to his family. Despite the pain and the obvious frustrations he has to deal with on a daily basis he has continued to work for Logistex and provide for his family.
