Story
Starting on 3rd June 2015, I am taking part in a 260km bike ride in France (which is almost the same as three back to back London to Brightons) along with 10 other work colleagues, where we’ll be cycling from Orleans via Poitiers. This is to raise money for my chosen charity, Alzheimer's Society, 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 Alzheimer's Society.
I have chosen this charity as it is close to my heart. My lovely Granddad unfortunately suffered with early Dementia in his last years and it is hard to watch the person you know slowly fade. I would like to raise money so that there can be more research and understanding into what causes this disease, along with funding further training into early diagnosis and ongoing care.
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.
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
– I will be EXTREMELY GRATEFUL...and may even possibly reward you with cake... :-)
