The CEO of a newly rebooted accountancy service from Melksham will put his best foot forward in supporting ‘The Mighty Titans’, a group dedicated to running the length of the country in just 7 days.
Sparked by a change in direction, Navtax owner Neil Johnson recently underwent an extensive company rebrand, with new offices and a company website to efficiently support local business owners and individuals with their business finance needs.
Neil will play an important part in the Melksham based ‘Mighty Titans’ running group challenge which is not only expected to test physical endurance, but also mental ability and stamina.
16 members will do their bit in running 62.5 miles each from Land’s End to John O’Groats, covering more than 1000 miles as a group. With 1 in 4 people in the UK currently suffering with their mental health, the importance of corporate sponsors for the event will not only fund the run, but all proceeds will go directly to Wiltshire Mind.
The independent Mental Health Charity from Melksham plays a key role in providing safety and mental health support to those in the community. Their aim is to grow their services from all donations raised at the event and sponsors of the charity run will get to hear directly on how you can support your own employees with their mental health and well-being.
Speaking about the upcoming challenge, Navtax owner Neil Johnson said: ‘Being asked to take part in the run will not only be rewarding for myself and the Navtax team, but will also have a significant impact on allowing us to give something back to the local community.
‘In helping to raise money for those experiencing issues with their mental health, we are giving a company sponsorship to raise awareness of the brilliant work Wiltshire Mind are doing and the fantastic services they offer.’
For all donations and sponsors raised at the event:
• £250 will help Wiltshire Mind to fund a block of sessions provided by counsellors.
• £500 will enable a training course for staff to increase their ability to support clients
• £1000 will fund both production and distribution of leaflets to further raise awareness of the charity in the local areas.
In the run up to the big day, Navtax has signed up to the LeJOG ‘Hero Sponsorship’ package. The donation will further help support the charity target of raising £10k for this specific challenge.
The Mighty Titans vs. The Entire Country in aid of Wiltshire Mind will commence on Saturday 28th July and will take place over 7 days.
