Starting on 4th June 2015, my colleagues will be taking part in a 260km bike ride in France (which is almost the same as three back to back London to Brightons), where they'll be cycling from Orleans via Poitiers. This is to raise money for my chosen charity Macmillan, along with 9 local hospices and The Rockinghorse Appeal through sponsorship from our company’s clients.

Over the past few years the Cellular Solutions team (where I work ) have raised over £111,000 – so with your help this event will help take us over the £140,000 mark – with the aim of reaching £250,000 over the next two years from our cycling fundraising.

For my personal fundraising target I am looking to raise £500+ for Macmillan. This is a cause that means a great deal to me, as some of you may know my Grandad benefited a great deal from their kindness and care. Nothing could have made that time any more bearable than what the Macmillan staff did for my Grandad and the family as a whole! I only wish that by supporting them it is possible for other families to have the dedicated help similar to that which we received and relied upon.

Cellular Solutions will also match like for like any funds we raise up to £5,000. Our overall total fundraising target for the event is £30,000. 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.
