South Eastern HSC Trust security duo do 13-mile hike for Alzheimer’s Society
South Eastern Trust Security Supervisors, Mark Ferguson and Alastair Robinson, have successfully completed the Alzheimer’s Society 13-mile hike at the Giant’s Causeway, raising an incredible £1,200 for the charity.
Taking in the stunning Northern Ireland coastline, the pair took on the challenging trek in support of a cause that is very close to their hearts.
Through both their roles in hospital security and their personal experiences with loved ones affected by Alzheimer’s disease, they understand first-hand the impact that Dementia can have on individuals and families.
Mark and Alastair said: “We were delighted to take part in the hike and raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society. Dementia affects so many people and families, including our own, so this was a cause we were passionate about supporting.
“The walk was challenging at times, but knowing we were helping to make a difference kept us motivated throughout. We would like to thank everyone who donated and supported us along the way.”
South Eastern Trust, Service Lead, Car Parking and Security, Fiona Savage, praised the pair for their achievement, and said: “I am incredibly proud of Alastair and Mark for taking on this challenge for such an important cause.
“Their dedication both in their roles and in supporting this charity highlights the compassion and commitment they bring to the Security Team every day.
“This is a fantastic achievement and a wonderful amount of money raised for Alzheimer’s Society.”
