On Sunday 3 April, a team of Zeus employees comprising of Nick Cowles, Mike Allen, Matthew Hogg, Daniel Phillips and Matt Wong ran the Manchester Marathon to raise money for a charitable cause very important to Nick’s family. They were fundraising for FamilieSCN2A Foundation, Francis House Children’s Hospice and to fund a specialised wet room and key equipment required for Ariela, a little girl who has been diagnosed with a rare genetic condition (SCN2A). Ariela has Otahara syndrome, which will sadly limit her life and require 24/7 care.
As Ariela, now two and a half, grows, she requires specialised play equipment and physio, and a specialised wet room on the ground floor of her house.
Nick Cowles, Co-Head of Investment Banking at Zeus, and his wife Gemma, set a target of £25,000 to be split between Ariela’s projects and The FamiliesSCN2A and Francis House charities.
Supported by family, friends and colleagues from Zeus and St Ann’s Primary School, the team raised over £28,000. They were able to be identified by running in purple tutus.
