On the 12th of May 2011, our friend and colleague, Francesco Anstey, passed away as a result of a brain tumour, aged just 23. Working in the sales department, he was a valued member of the Social Media Library team and a great friend to us all here in the office. His big personality will be missed by anyone who knew him.
As a tribute to the man, the staff at Social Media Library are attempting to complete the UK 3 Peaks, climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales; all in under 24 hours. Money raised will go to Francesco’s family’s chosen charity, the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust.
Donate to the cause here.
If you think you could help promote the event or want to get involved in any way, please email us.
The event also has a Facebook page, which we urge you to ‘Like’.
Keep following the blog, the Facebook Page and our Twitter account for regular updates on our extremely demanding, and frankly knackering, training schedule.
