FLC partners to take part in a sponsored run for the British Heart Foundation

The staff of Family Law Consultancy are more usually seen hot footing it down to the local Court, but on Sunday 12 September 2010, they will be hot footing it around Wimpole Hall Estate in Cambridge, to help raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

"Apart from going to Court, we spend most of our time sitting at our desks", said FLC partner Stephanie Walmsley "so doing 9.5 miles will be a bit of a challenge.”

Fortunately, the Family Law Consultancy doggy mascots will be on hand to pull the team round if they start flagging. “Ralph and Molly have known each other since they were puppies”, said Stephanie, “the pair of them have boundless energy! And we’re also lucky to be supported by a few sporty, non family lawyer friends, who are going to come along and help sustain the FLC team.”  

Family Law Consultancy has supported the British Heart Foundation since the original founder of the firm, Brooks Simpson, died suddenly from a heart condition at only 36 years of age. “Brooks worked so hard to establish the firm, and his loss at such a young age was incredibly tragic,” said Stephanie, “The British Heart Foundation funds vital, life saving research and also provides support to people affected by heart problems.”

So far, clients, family and friends and business colleagues have been very generous and the team hope that people will continue to sponsor them. Even a few pounds will make a huge difference and help British Heart Foundation continue their invaluable work.

You can sponsor the Family Law Consultancy team by visiting their online fundraising page on www.justgiving.com/stephanie-walmsley. You can pay by credit or debit card, and the money will go directly to The British Heart Foundation. Where supporters are UK taxpayers, the charity will automatically receive 28% extra in Gift Aid, which makes Justgiving the most efficient way of sponsoring Family Law Consultancy.
