GGR Group duo raise over £1,000 for charity

The duo, who work for the lifting solutions specialists at its Oldham HQ, were joined by nine other teams, who took to the water to travel the 25-mile stretch from Preston to Lancaster in a two-man canoe. The event has raised over £4,700 in total.

“I have done this challenge twice before, albeit when I was younger and a lot fitter. Our main aim was to raise as much money as possible and on this occasion, we have surpassed all expectations,” said Ezzatvar.

“Once we saw that we were creeping up the fundraising leader board, we pulled out all the stops to get to the top. We couldn’t have made this happen without the generous support of our professional networks, colleagues, family and friends.”

Pogorzelec added: “I am really happy Dan asked me to join him in this year’s challenge. I have been involved in many charity events in the past and although this was the most challenging, it has been one of the most rewarding.”

“To see so many of our friends, family and colleagues at GGR Group get behind us to raise over thousand pounds has been incredible. I would like to also express my thanks for the support.”
