Running the distance for Myton Hospices
Myton Hospices are a Charity providing support to people with terminal illnesses, and their families, across the West Midlands.
Cemex employees have supported Myton Hospices through a range of fundraisers, including Jane Walsh, UK Supply Chain Manager for Aggregates and Asphalt, who ran the 2024 London Marathon for the hospice. Understanding the positive impact that the charity has had on so many families in the West Midlands, Jane wanted to raise money for Myton and help ensure their services continue to be available to for all the families that require them in the future.
Jane completed the London Marathon in of 5 hours 40 minutes and managed to raise an amazing £1200 for the hospice.

Supporting MacMillan Coffee Morning
MacMillan Cancer Support provides vital services to people affected by cancer, through emotional support, financial assistance and practical help.
One of its key annual fundraising events is its MacMillan Coffee Morning, which our employee supported through a coffee morning in our head office. It was a fantastic opportunity for employees to come together and raise money for a very important cause.
