Local Solicitors Tri-ing Hard For The East Anglian Air Ambulance

Cozens-Hardy is delighted to announce that the firm will be supporting the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) this year.

As part of the firm’s sponsorship of the 2012 Norwich Triathlon, the Tri-Anglia Triathlon Club (the event organisers) has also nominated the EAAA as its official charity for the event which takes place on Sunday 1st July, at Whitlingham Country Park.

Said Philippa Rudd, Marketing Partner, Cozens-Hardy:

“Our staff voted overwhelmingly in favour of supporting the East Anglian Air Ambulance this year and we are delighted that Tri-Anglia has pledged its support for the Norwich Triathlon as well. One of our employees was very ill as a baby and an air ambulance played a critical part in her treatment – and I think everyone here at Castle Chambers appreciates what an incredible service the charity offers.”

Added Mark Philo, Race Director, Norwich Triathlon:

“The East Anglian Air Ambulance is a terrific local charity and it’s one that I’ve personally raised money for in the past. I’m really pleased that we’ve been able to nominate them as our official charity for the 2012 Norwich Triathlon. I hope that many of our competitors will take this opportunity to badger friends and family to sponsor them to complete the Triathlon – and we’ve uploaded a sponsorship form on our website to facilitate this.”

Jess Down, Area Fundraising Manager for the East Anglian Air Ambulance said:

“I am delighted that the staff at Cozens-Hardy have kindly chosen to support us, it’s wonderful news. We really look forward to working with them on some exciting initiative and events, including the Norwich Triathlon. The support of local people and businesses is invaluable to us and we are really grateful to have the support of such a prominent legal services provider.”

Anyone wishing to donate money to the EAAA, by supporting the Cozens-Hardy teams participating in the Business Challenge division of the Norwich Triathlon, can donate money by visiting the firm’s justgiving site: www.justgiving.com/cozenshardyllp.
