The Fisher Scientific, Loughborough fundraising team

On Tuesday 7 May staff across the Fisher Scientific Loughborough site joined forces to support the ‘Moon Walk, London’ which aims to raise money, raise awareness and unite against breast cancer.

The Company’s expert cake bakers and finest Indian food connoisseurs pooled their skills to offer a delicious choice of treats in the staff canteen, all sold in aid of the cause. Handmade cards and kitsch ‘bra pins’ were also sold to raise funds.
Support from Fisher Scientific staff was fantastic with a commendable £394.00 raised on the day.
We wish everyone participating in the Moon Walk a hugely successful event.
