Macmillan is an amazing charity which has helped many of my family members, friends and colleagues,” John explains. “Without support from my colleagues at work this walk wouldn't be possible,” John says. “I’ve been very lucky to be sponsored by the John Maxwell Menzies (JMM) Community Fund, which encourages employees to participate in charitable, voluntary and community related activities. Thank you, Menzies!” Best of luck with the hike, John. You are an inspiration! ✨ #MyMenzies #MenziesAviation #PeoplePassionPride #EDI
