NW Brown sponsors businesswomans challenge
At the end of August Cambridge businesswoman, Jenny Kartupelis, is swimming 4.5 kilometres across the Hellespont in Turkey to raise money for water supply projects in Africa.
At the end of August Cambridge businesswoman, Jenny Kartupelis, is swimming 4.5 kilometres across the Hellespont in Turkey to raise money for water supply projects in Africa. These projects are run by Christian Aid, which has an arrangement whereby, providing a substantial sum is raised by a person or organisation, the EU will match every £1 with £3 EU funding. This means Jenny’s efforts could make a significant impression on the communities aided by the charity.
Jenny has been busy fundraising, first approaching friends and family before extending her request to corporate contacts. She has also been training hard: ‘I wanted to make sure I had a sporting chance of getting across the water in the permitted time. Having now achieved that several times practising in the sea, I feel more confident!’
NW Brown Group, a leading Investment and Financial Services provider, is pleased to become the primary sponsor for Jenny in her demanding challenge. NW Brown Insurance Brokers, a subsidiary of the Group, is adding to the financial sponsorship by providing Jenny’s medical cover up to £5million. Chief Executive, Marcus Johnson, was delighted to confirm the Groups sponsorship saying ‘We support many charities and good causes as a firm and are delighted that Jenny chose to approach us first to sponsor her swim challenge.’
