Local company employees make a Christmas dream come true

Sureterm Direct staff donates their Christmas bonus to a good cause
The Spanton family of Sawtry have a 7 month old son called Bradley, who has a condition called thrombophilia. Bradley has had 4 operations, a pacemaker and an artificial heart valve. Every day his mother has to take him from Sawtry to Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon for routine blood tests to check his condition. Bradley’s mother doesn’t drive and so has to rely on family and friends to take her and her son to hospital everyday. Bradley’s parents, Stephanie and Charlie turned to a local paper to help raise £7,000 for an International Normalised Ratio (INR) home blood testing machine to help their son’s condition.
Sureterm is a locally based, young, progressive company that is family focused, so when the 70 Sureterm employees, many of which have young children of their own, heard about the plight of the Spanton family, it seemed the natural choice to help out. The employees decided that instead of receiving their traditional Christmas bonus, they would donate the money and purchase the piece of equipment that was so desperately needed by the young family.
Sue Hessom, General Manager at Sureterm Direct said ‘we have a fantastic team here at Sureterm and I am so pleased and proud that they have made this gesture to help this family out, especially at Christmas’
