Staff across the UK will volunteer their time for the charity and run and get involved in fundraising events. Sponsored runs, cycles, abseils and swims are being planned. The partnership will emphasise the role both organisations play in connecting people and the difference this makes to their lives. ## Advertisement Samantha Pitt, [Network Rail](http://www.networkrail.co.uk) Charity Panel Chair, said: > “We look forward to working in partnership with [CLIC Sargent](http://www.clicsargent.org.uk) > in supporting and getting to know better the work that this wonderful charity > does in providing support to children and young people with cancer.” The charity had used social media channels to ask supporters and the public who worked at Network Rail to vote for them. > Work for [@networkrail](https://twitter.com/networkrail)?
