British Land agreed to match the funds
raised by the Eastgate team pound for pound, bringing the total amount
to £54,100.
Fiona Bruce, Action Partners President, said: “On behalf of Action
Medical Research, I am thrilled to accept this cheque for an amount
which could help change the lives of many children across the UK.
I would like to congratulate all those who dedicated their time and
efforts to such a great cause, and thank British Land for matching the
amount raised by the cyclists.”
Hans Wustefeld, General
Manager of Eastgate Shopping said, “I am really proud of the team here
at Eastgate who dedicated a considerable amount of time and effort to
this wonderful cause.”

Chris Grigg, Chief Executive of British Land said,
“We’re pleased to have been able to support Action Medical Research.
The team at Eastgate has done a great job.”
The money
was raised by employees of the British Land-owned Eastgate Shopping
Centre in Basildon, Essex, who, after months of training, cycled from
London to Paris in aid of Action Medical Research. |

Eastgate and Kingswood supported for the
third consecutive year the famous Take Action London to Paris bike ride
raising funds for vital medical research.
Action Medical Research specialises in children’s health,
tackling problems affecting pregnancy, childbirth, babies, children and
adolescents.
For most families it is a time of immense joy
and relief when their child is born safely. But not all births go as
expected. Each year in the UK 70,000 newborn babies need special care.
Sadly, 50,000 babies are born prematurely.
We at Eastgate and Club Kingswood are
ACTION PARTNERS
and committed to support the charity. last year Eastgate raised, through the
Giraffe Appeal, enough money to donate an incubator to Basildon University
Hospital.

Action Medical Research website for more information.
