Good luck Gloria!

Many of you know Gloria Benson, one of our Directors. Over the years, Gloria has been involved in a wide variety of community support and charity fund-raising activities. Well, here comes the most ambitious ever! Gloria is about to cycle through Vietnam to raise money for the Breast Unit Fund For Education and Research (BUFFER), a local charity run by her surgeon, that helps to purchase equipment for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. BUFFER is one of the charities that Consult Hyperion has supported through our not-for-profit Forums over the years and we will be supporting it again this year (and thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we'll be giving more than ever before). If you'd like to support Gloria in this fantastic effort, you can donate via Giftshare.
