Glide was honoured to support the incredible work of The Cardiomyopathy Association through our charity football tournament last weekend.
With the work they do to support families affected by Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), a hereditary heart muscle disease, it’s no wonder they are our charity of the year again. HCM is an issue close to our chief fundraiser’s heart, Glide’s own Pauline Grogan, who learned at Christmas that her son has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and his newborn daughter has a 50% chance of inheriting the condition.
Team Glide jumped at the chance to get involved in the charity football event, taking on a side of Rovers fans and Ecotricity staffers at the New Lawn Stadium in Nailsworth to raise money. Despite losing 3-1, we are still rallying to raise money and beat last year’s total donated amount of £1558.

As Pauline says, “thank you does not seem enough, but I am sure you are all aware it comes from the heart”. Every donation makes a huge difference for this worthy cause!
