Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Hi, I’m Chris Tonge and I’m the Sales and Marketing Director at Grimsby-based Ultimate Packaging as well as Sales Director at 10d Creative in Hull. To celebrate both my 50th milestone birthday and Ultimate Packaging’s tenth year at our Europarc location, I’m pledging to raise £50,000 for a local children’s hospice – St Andrew’s.
My target of £50,000 has been decided because I’d like to raise £1,000 for every year that I’ve been alive!
I’ve set myself some personal challenges (with a little help from my friends, family and colleagues), which should hopefully test me in every way, whilst being a lot of fun at the same time!
St. Andrew’s Hospice does a fantastic job. It provides holistic care for children and young people living in Lincolnshire, Hull and East Riding. All the children and young people in its care have progressive life limiting illnesses. The hospice aims to improve quality of life, to bring fun into their everyday routines by providing specialist medical and nursing care and to keep them smiling. Extensive help and support is also offered to their families and carers.
Mike Gresham fundraiser for the hospice said about The Ultimate Challenge: “We are delighted that Chris Tonge and the team at Ultimate are planning a fundraising campaign for St Andrew’s. The £5,000 already raised from their contacts is a fantastic amount! Without the generosity of local companies and individuals we could not continue to provide the level of care that we do, so please get behind Chris and his Ultimate Challenge!”
