Chartered Builders, Greendale Construction Limited has presented Harri Honeyfield and his mum, Andrea with a cheque for £1827 after eight determined employees battled torrential storms to complete the Dorset Mud Run challenge and raise funds for the Hope 4 Harri charity. The money raised will go towards life changing surgery and post-operative physiotherapy to vastly improve seven year old Harri’s mobility and quality of life. Harri’s parents. Andrea and Simon Honeyfield started the charity Hope 4 Harri, to raise funds for treatment, and awareness of Harri’s condition.
Harri sadly suffered an Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy event during his traumatic birth which left him with multiple organ failure. Having spent the first 3 weeks of his life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit where he received brain cooling treatment, Harri gradually recovered but was left with a severe brain injury, and later diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, Global Development Delay, and Epilepsy.
Maria Seabright, HR and Finance Director for Greendale Construction said: “Hope 4 Harri was chosen as charity of the year for 2024 by Greendale’s employees, and will see us raising funds for Harri by holding various events throughout the year. Having already raised £3660 for Harri through the Greendale Christmas party raffle and generous donations from suppliers and subcontractors, we are incredibly proud of our Mud Run team for their dedication and time in completing what was an exceptionally muddy and challenging course this year! We’re only halfway through the year and can’t wait to plan and hold more fundraising events for little Harri’s treatment.”
Harri’s mum, Andrea Honeyfield, commented: “All of Harri’s family are so grateful to everyone at Greendale, their colleagues and business associates, for their continued support and care for Harri. We can’t believe how much has been raised already, and want to thank everyone for their time and their amazing efforts.”
