Angela Kirtley Partner in the MLPR team said: “Heel and Toe is a fantastic charity we care very much about at Irwin Mitchell. Some of my work involves dealing with children with cerebral palsy and I know many of our clients think Heel and Toe is a great source of information and help.
“We nominated them as our charity of the year in 2010 and we’re really proud to have raised £5,600. Toby Brooks, one of our lawyers, is also one of many intrepid fundraisers and will be running in the Great North run this year in aid of the charity.

We need to raise £350,000 every year continue our work providing therapy sessions, fun events and support parents of children with disabilities so it’s vital for us to attend events like this.”
