NET SPONSORS YOUNG LOCAL Snowboarder

NET are delighted to sponsor local up and coming freestyle snowboarding star Roahan Duncan. Rohan now 15 has been snowboarding since the tender age of 5, started competing at 8 and by his 11th Birthday proudly held the title of British, English and Scottish champion in his category. For the past 3 years Rohan has trained in Austria during the winter months, dedicating 6 months of the year to travelling Europe competing at European and World Class level. His selection for the GB Snowsports B team is now a step closer to representing Great Britain at the Olympics. We are behind Rohan all the way!

COURAGE ON THE CATWALK / BRAVE

Friends of Anchor

Each year Friends of ANCHOR host their annual Courage on the Catwalk and Brave event at the Beach Ballroom in Aberdeen.

The shows include a line-up of 24 local men and 24 women, who take to the catwalk to strut their stuff and raise funds for the North-east charity.

Each Courage and Brave model will have faced a cancer or haematology diagnosis at some point in their life, whether they are still receiving treatment, living with their diagnosis or sharing their hope in receiving the all-clear.

We have been supporting the events for many years now and provide support to Friends of ANCHOR by gifting radios for the 4-day show weekend, giving the Friends of ANCHOR team and their volunteers the ability to communicate clearly and ensure that the professional events run as smoothly as possible.

Erica Banks, Head of Communications at the charity said: “The support from NET has been significant and steadfast and we’re really grateful to the team who make such generous accommodations for us by loaning the radio equipment each year, which allows us to put on a professional and slick production as we host 550 guests at each show, with dozens of volunteers helping out too.”

The events are well and truly loved locally, with Courage on the Catwalk now entering the 10th year since its inception in 2013. Brave joined the party not long after in 2017, and quickly formed its own identity as an uplifting and inspiring event.

Every penny raised celebrating the bravery and courage of the models taking part will go directly to Friends of ANCHOR’s ‘ANCHORED Together’ appeal, which aims to raise £2m for additional investment in The ANCHOR Centre, which is due to open later this year.

Thanks once again for your help and hopefully we can meet up at one of the training sessions and you can see the tops in action.”

NET Sponsors Neil McDonald’s Mount Everest Climb

Neil McDonald scaled Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, and now has raised more than £115,000 for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) from a series of expeditions as part of his climbing for a cure campaign. In conjunction with Motorola, NET sponsored Neil and helped him achieve his objective. JDRF is the world’s leading charitable founder of research into the cure for type 1 diabetes.

It was founded in 1970 by a small group of parents of children with type 1 diabetes who recognised that insulin injections are not the cure for this life threatening condition. JDRF UK was formed in 1986, assisting in the global fund-raising effort which has seen the distribution of more than £500m to date to experts working hard to find a cure. Around £3m has been given to more than 20 UK-based research projects studying the causes, prevention, treatment and cure of diabetes and its complications.

It’s Monte Carlo or Bust for Monty’s Maggie’s Appeal

Two North-east businessmen brought a touch of James Bond glamour to a campaign to build a cancer support center in Aberdeen. NET MD Mark Allan and friend Ken Gillan raised thousands of pounds for the Monty’s Maggie’s appeal by cruising to Monte Carlo in a James Bond style Aston Martin. The sports car, similar to the model that featured in the 007 film Quantum of Solace, was kitted out in the appeal’s livery and was on display at the Press and Journal Ball.
