Alan's Double Challenge
Fundraising for Together Trust
Story
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.
April 2012 I took part in the London to Paris Cycle Ride in aid of the Together Trust (registered charity number 2097825).
2013 will see me take on a double challenge. 1st the Outlaw Ironman (2.4mile swim,112mile bike ride & 26.3mile run) 2nd the Three Cities Bike Ride (London,Amsterdam & Brussels)
I'm taking part in these sponsored events hoping to raise £3000 for the Together Trust , they are a Charity based in Cheadle who amongst other things provide care, education and support to children and young adults with Autism as well as providing help and support for their families.
Just £500 could send a group of teenagers with emotional and behavioural needs on a camping trip.
£750 could purchase specialist sensory room equipment. Sensory rooms help to stimulate or calm the senses of people with Autism.
£1000 could purchase a touch screen computer which can be used by young people with physical and learning disabilities to communicate with others and make choices about their day and their lives.
For more information about the work of the Together Trust click on this link www.togethertrust.org.uk
Together Trust commit to spending every penny of voluntary income for the benefit of the children, young people and adults in their care. Every penny they receive makes a difference and is used to improve the lives of the young people and give them the most positive future possible.
I'm looking forward to doing my part to support the Together Trust's efforts, which is why I'm looking forward to taking part in both events.
The first part of the challenge is to raise £1500 in sponsorship by March 2013 and my goal of £3000 by August 2013.
