Toll Today March 2011 - TOLL Group

Toll remote Logistics recognised for Support
of the Defence Lake Attack Charity Events
Toll Remote Logistics has been recognised for its
continued support of the Defence Lake Attack
Fun Run / Walk and Charity Ball events.
The Defence Lake Attack is a series of three events,
run by the australian Defence Force (aDF) and the
Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation, that bring
together Victorian Defence, the local community and
sponsors to raise funds for charity.
In 2010 the charities that were supported were:
Legacy – Caring for Families of Deceased Veterans
Kidsafe – Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Australia
Redkite – Cancer Fund for Children, and
Compassionate Friends Victoria – supporting Bereaved
Parents and Siblings.
Toll Remote Logistics, formerly as PDL Toll, was one
of three main sponsors and has supported the event for
the last five years.
As a major sponsor, this support included a donation
of A$20,000 and some Toll horsepower to add to the
spectacle on race day. On the day of the fun run / walk,
the Toll HRT V8 display car driven by Mark Leatham
(Commonwealth Program Manager at Toll Remote
Logistics, not Toll HRT’s latest champion driver!) was a real
hit with young and old alike, as was the Helicorp Bell 206
Long Ranger helicopter flown by pilot Roger de Souza.
The Charity Ball was held at the Windsor Hotel, Melbourne
on 2 October 2010 and hosted by Air Vice Marshall
Margaret Staib Commander Joint Logistics. In attendance
at the Charity Ball was Mark Leatham, Commonwealth
Program Manager representing Toll Remote Logistics and
Warming up for the Global Corporate Challenge
You may remember in the last issue of Toll Today we
announced the Toll Group’s winning Global Corporate
Challenge team for 2010. Since then, the competition
has started to heat up and a number of teams have come
forward to take part in this year’s event.
Starting on 19 May, the 16 week long Global Corporate
Challenge will see thousands of workplace teams from
around the world take part in a bid to walk more and
improve their fitness. With benefits such as reduced
workplace sickness, improved individual wellbeing and
higher workplace morale, the challenge is a really positive
thing for you and your team to get involved in.
Plus the improvements to the challenge this year will make it
even easier to take part. With a brand new iPhone application,
challengers can update their progress on the go, and use

more funds, including a scenic flight in the Bell 206, which
raised more than A$600.
The Charity Ball was a great success and at the end of the
night the total funds raised were A$177,000. This was then
divided equally and presented to each of the charities as
well as glass sculptures of appreciation that were presented
to each of the major sponsors.

With men losing 5kg on average and women dropping 6kg,
the program has significant measurable health benefits.
To ensure you and your team has the best possible chance
at succeeding in the program, why not start a walking group
on a lunchtime, or perhaps after work? This will get your
team enthused for the challenge and increase your chances
of winning!
