The Noledge Group, the Irish cloud ERP solution specialist, today announces that its team laced up their runners to raise vital funds and awareness for the Irish Heart Foundation as part of the charity’s recent RUN 100 workplace challenge.
Noledge employees joined hundreds of participants nationwide to each run or walk 100 kilometres over the course of one month. In total, 11 Noledge team members covered more than 1,100 kilometres, boosting awareness for heart disease and stroke prevention and raising more than €2,500 for the Irish Heart Foundation in the process.
For 60 years, the Irish Heart Foundation’s mission has been to eliminate preventable death and disability from heart disease and stroke, and to support and care for those living with these life-changing conditions. RUN 100 aimed to get employees moving for their heart health, raise crucial funds to support prevention, advocacy, and patient support programmes, and ultimately create healthier workplaces.
The Noledge team fully committed to the challenge, supporting life-saving services and research and far surpassing the original fundraising target. Employees tackled all types of terrain to complete the challenge, including mountain tracks, woodland paths, and park trails.
Ray Ryan, CEO, The Noledge Group, said: “We are immensely proud of our team for getting behind such an important charity. Covering over 1,000km between 11 people in just one month is a remarkable achievement and reflects the dedication that everyone brought to this initiative. A healthy, engaged workforce is at the heart of everything we do, and initiatives like this bring that to life.
“It’s a brilliant example of what can be achieved when people come together to champion a meaningful cause. Just as the Irish Heart Foundation is committed to being there for every heartbeat and fighting to protect the cardiovascular health of everyone in Ireland, Noledge too is committed to delivering the best outcomes for our customers.”
