Acorn’s pool – vital facility for sick children<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Our team of elite consultants and trainers here at Global Integration can lay claim to a certain degree of sporting prowess, even boasting an ex Olympian<\/a> in our midst.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s not entirely surprising to learn that matrix management specialist Phil Stockbridge<\/a> is taking to the streets for his latest challenge: running \u00a0a half marathon – the BUPA Great Birmingham Run – on the 23rd October (2011) \u00a0in aid of Acorns Children\u2019s Hospice.<\/p>\n

Hospices provide invaluable care and respite, and Acorns provides care and support specifically for children and young people who have life limiting or life threatening conditions, and provides vital support for all the family. It costs \u00a3750 per day (around $1200 at today’s rates) for each child\u2019s care, over 70% of which comes from community initiatives like Phil\u2019s run.<\/p>\n

(For those of us who know and love Phil, it\u2019s somewhat \u00a0less surprising to note that this is the chosen charity of Burton Rugby Club, to which Phil offers keen support.)<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to sponsor him for this great cause, you can do so on his Just Giving page, here: https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/PhilStockbridge<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ll let you know how he gets on.<\/p>\n
