Hovertravel has shown that it is fully behind The Wight Brainy Bunch by helping to promote the charity’s latest fund-raising initiative: the Hoses & Helmets Calendar for 2018.
The cheeky calendar – which is sponsored by Island Echo – features an array of firefighters from Ryde Fire Station. The life-savers took off their clothes and posed for the shoot earlier this year, all in the name of charity.
The Wight Brainy Bunch was set up by Mark Grimes and his wife Kathryn following Mark’s diagnosis of a brain tumour in February 2015. The charity supports the Brain Tumour Charity and The Fire Fighters Charity, but for 2017 the focus is raising funds for the Wessex Neurological Centre in Southampton. It’s at the Wessex Neurological Centre where Mark underwent his craniotomy in 2015.
Funds are also being raised to supply a support network and funding to assist families on the Isle of Wight who have been affected by brain tumours.
Neil Chapman, managing director at Hovertravel, says:
“We are announcing our support of this fabulous and worthy local charity by helping promote their 2018 calendar, which we will be selling alongside their Christmas cards in both our terminals.
“Hovertravel is keen to help contribute to the health and wealth of the communities it links across the Solent and we look to provide meaningful assistance as and when we can to charitable causes.”
