This year, 9,000 runners took part in the 18th Mainz Gutenberg Marathon on May 7. Our donor Energetix was also very involved again this year with 69 runners. The majority started in the half marathon, three “Energetixers” even ran the entire marathon. Energetix Bingen has been supporting the work of Hugo Tempelman since 2008. We are grateful for a supporter who does good so regularly and reliably. The “Energetixers” donate €2 for every kilometer run. This year, they raised 3,024 euros. And that’s not all: Roland Förster, the managing partner of the medium-sized company, rounded this amount up to a generous €5,000. This is not a matter of course and is very gratefully received by us as a foundation and the children in the various projects of the Ndlovu Care Group in South Africa. We know that financial support for social projects is often a concern for medium-sized companies in particular, and we are very happy to have such a steadfast partner at our side in Roland Förster and Energetix. Over the years, Energetix has already donated well over one million euros to the projects of Hugo Tempelman’s Ndlovu Care Group.
Many thanks for this. Of course, Liesje Tempelman and her son Gijs also ran the marathon this year, as they do every year. This personal participation has brought the Tempelmans and the Energetixers even closer together. It proves it: Here are two partners who want to achieve something and are pulling together to do so. Joey Kelly also ran in the Energetix team again this year. The presence of the extreme sportsman motivated all the runners in the team and the sporting spark was passed on to everyone. We congratulate all the runners on a great performance. A great help for a good cause. A big thank you and see you next year!
