Channel Telecom match £ for £ donations, as staff MoonWalk for breast cancer

Vicki Antoniou, Partner Account Manager and Nikki Walsh, Head of Finance with Channel Telecom, the fast growing provider of business telecommunication services to the UK channel, have raised over £5,000 in sponsorship with a group of five other friends for this year's MoonWalk held in London during May. The MoonWalk raises funds to support research into breast cancer and organisations which provide emotional and physical support for those suffering from cancer.

Wearing decorated bras is the trademark of the grant-making breast cancer charity WalktheWalk. Vicki and Nikki and their ‘Gym Buddies' team joined over 15,000 other walkers taking part in ‘A Walk on the Wild Side', with bras beautifully decorated in everything from animal prints to rock ‘n roll paraphernalia. The iconic MoonWalk midnight marathon started in Hyde Park with the team walking the whole 26.2 miles.

Channel Telecom will be contributing to the cause by generously matching £ for £ the amount raised personally by Vicki and Nikki themselves. Readers wishing to donate to the cause can find their fundraising page at:

Vicki Antoniou commented, "It was a truly inspirational event to see all the women in their bras. Walking through the city and seeing the dawn break over the London Eye and Houses of Parliament was worth the hard work and was an amazing sight, and we've raised a lot of money for a good cause, which Channel Telecom will match."
