Starting on 3 June 2015, I shall be taking part in a 1000KM team office bike ride along with 15 other work colleagues from Cellular Solutions, where we’ll be cycling for three days in a race to travel the length of France. Meanwhile ten of my colleagues are cycling 265KMs each from Orleans to Poitiers actually in France! This is all to raise money for my chosen charity Mind UK, along with 9 local hospices and The Rockinghorse Children's Charity.

We have already raised over £111,000 and in this “stage” we are looking to raise a total of more than £30,000. So with your help this event will help take us over the £140,000 mark.

Cellular Solutions will also match like for like any funds we raise up to £5,000. Every donation will help towards this figure that will make a significant difference to those less fortunate than ourselves. Every penny donated goes to charity and not towards the costs of the event thanks to sponsorship of the event by one of our network partners.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now – we’ll all be extremely grateful!
