Stewart Heaysman, Product Design Engineer at Siemens Hearing Instruments in Crawley, used the Brighton Marathon 2012 as a platform to raise money and awareness about this local charity of which he is a trustee, and completed the marathon in just over six hours on Sunday, 15th April despite being hampered by a knee injury.
Mankind provides research, training, and education for professional bodies such as the Police. In addition to providing support for victims of adult and / or childhood sexual assault, the charity offers support for the families of the victims.
Trevor Andrews, Managing Director of Siemens Hearing Instruments presents a cheque to staff member Stewart Heaysman following a range of fundraising initiatives including a charity supper quiz in Eastbourne. The money raised will support the work of Mankind, a charity that provides counselling for men who have experienced sexual abuse and/or sexual assault at any time in their lives.

The evening event included a hearing themed element provided by local hearing healthcare centre Bexhill Hearing. The family run business helped raise awareness about hearing health and hearing loss throughout the evening with games, tips, special offers and fun facts. Siemens donated £400 towards the event in addition to a raffle prize.
