Local Wholesaler Raises £3,000 for Meningitis Now

The team raised almost £3,000 in memory of Mia, the eldest daughter of kff colleague Alex Basford, who passed away from Bacterial Meningitis just over two years ago on 5th January 2023, her 20th Birthday.

The South Downs Way is a 100-mile ancient route that stretches from Winchester to Brighton across a ridgeline that dips regularly through villages and across roads, making the route one of the most challenging 100 mile stretches in the UK, as its total incline is more than 12,500 ft in total.

Mark Taylor, kff’s Managing Director, said: “I’m very proud of how the team has rallied round to support Alex and raise funds for this amazing cause.

“It was a real team effort with the key accounts team walking the route in less than 24 hours and our Development Chef even drove the support van. A massive well done to everyone.”

The sponsored challenge raised funds for Meningitis Now, a charity dedicated to fighting meningitis and supporting those affected by it.
