Raising a brilliant £1,480, Standard Bank was represented by six team members in the Macmillan Rowathon 2024.
The event, held at The Radisson Hotel in St. Helier, witnessed the spirited involvement of Standard Bank‘s team, ‘Ten Up!’, who rowed their hearts out for a worthy cause, completing the challenge in 2 hours, 10 minutes, and 6 seconds!
The Macmillan Rowathon, a test of endurance and teamwork, challenges participants to row the equivalent of the distance between the Channel Islands of Jersey and Sark (30,000 meters) on Concept 2 rowing machines. From 09:00 to 14:00, the team from Standard Bank, alongside many other local teams, showcased resilience and determination.
Martyn Samphier, Head of Corporate & Business Banking at Standard Bank in Jersey, said: “It’s truly remarkable to see our team’s continuous dedication to the Macmillan Rowathon. As we mark our tenth ‘Rowathon’, it’s a testament to our enduring commitment to making a positive impact in our community. I am inspired every year that my colleagues continuously support my desire to get involved in this event and raise money for an incredibly worthy charity, Macmillan Cancer Support Jersey.”
Tina Stuchfield, Head of People and Culture at Standard Bank, added: “At Standard Bank, we recognise the vital role organisations like Macmillan play in supporting individuals facing cancer diagnoses. Witnessing our colleagues come together in support of such a worthy cause is inspiring and underscores the privilege we have in contributing to our community’s wellbeing.”
