👋 Meet Scott, a Director in HR Operations, who recently organized a fundraising event alongside his BlackRock colleagues. Their mission? To shed light on Motor Neuron Disease (MND), a disease that affects the nerves known as motor neurons. These nerves are found in the brain and spinal cord, and they help tell your muscles what to do.
Scott’s connection to MND goes beyond just raising awareness. His close friend is now battling this disease and has lost his speech and mobility in his legs and hands. Scott shared, “Until a close friend was diagnosed, it was just another disease. But now I see how relentlessly it takes away, and there’s no cure. I wanted to do something to help, to lift my friend’s spirits, and to raise awareness.”
To accomplish this, Scott shaved his head, and his BlackRock colleague Larissa Apsley, Head of EMEA Human Resources, helped ☝️! The impact of their efforts was truly remarkable, as their dedicated colleagues generously donated £4,000 to the cause. And with BlackRock’s incredible matching, their contribution reached £8,000! 🙌
