Supporting the MS community: Australia’s largest trucking firm gives back
Staff at K&S Freight, one of Australia’s largest trucking firms, raised $13,500 for MSL in a charity golf event. The company’s Senior Manager, Anthony Vallone and National Business Development Manager, Peter Murphy are both living with MS, so raising money for MSL is very close to the company’s heart.
Ben Holgate, our Executive Manager, Strategic Fundraising, attended the offices of K&S last week to gratefully accept a cheque for $13,500 on behalf of MSL. The money raised by K&S will help us to continue to deliver vital services and support to people living with MS.
At the presentation, K&S managing director and CEO Paul Sarant paid tribute to Anthony and Peter’s determination to overcome their MS and continue to make very significant contributions to K&S. Anthony and Peter both did the MS Melbourne Cycle with a group last year and raised a further $2,000. They will be participating again this year on the 22 March.
If you’d like to be involved in the upcoming event, check the MS Melbourne Cycle + ½ Marathon website. (https://www.msmelbournecycle.org.au/) There’s a variety of events to pick from, starting from 3Km rides and 5km runs.
