Cleankill Pest Control staff have been walking or are planning walks to raise money for worthy causes.
A stellar group of individuals have got together in aid of raising money for a much-loved Cleankill Pest Control employee who sadly passed away this year.
Tony’s wife Sarah has got together a team of his friends and family (nicknaming themselves Tony’s Supergirls) to take part in the midnight walk on June 7 to raise money for St Catherine’s Hospice. Not only does this walk under the stars raise money for an amazing cause, but is also a chance for friends and family to come together and remember their loved ones.
St Catherine’s Hospice in West Sussex provides expert care and support for patients and their families living with a life-limiting condition. They cared for Tony in his final stages of his fight against cancer. His friends and family have said the care and love the hospice gave to Tony and his family was “unbelievable and fantastically lovely”.
Tony was a loving husband, brother, uncle, amazing friend and incredible father to three boys. He worked for Cleankill for over 10 years and was a much-loved employee and friend.
His work colleague Martin recalls: “I met Tony three years ago and knew very quickly that we would be firm friends, which we were, inside and outside of work. Anybody who met him loved him – he was a funny, lovable guy with a cheeky smile.
“He made every day a great day to be at work and was a very experienced employee of Cleankill. Away from work he loved nothing more than spending time with Sarah and the boys.”
Tony was diagnosed with cancer and received treatment to fight it, he sadly passed away on the February 15, 2025.
Tony’s Supergirls will be taking on the 13-mile route on June 7. When talking about his Cleankill colleague, Martin concluded: “He will always be with everyone who knew him. To Tony – we all love you and miss you. You are forever in our hearts.”
In the meantime, two Cleankill colleagues have been raising money for the Royal Marsden.
Administrator Stephanie Douch and surveyor Josh Bates both walked the 15 miles between The Royal Marsden in Chelsea and the Royal Marsden in Sutton.
Josh said: “In an attempt to give back and help those who have it a lot worse, myself and my best friend James Sanger-Brown completed the walk to thank the staff who have looked after me over the past year.”
Josh and James raised their target amount of £650.
Stephanie walked with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law to raise money for her father-in-law who is being treated at the Marsden for prostate cancer.
She said: It’s the first time I’ve done anything like that and it was quite a challenge, especially as it was the hottest day of the year so far!”
The team raised an incredible £1,350.
