Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In June 2015, I shall be joining my colleagues at Cellular Solutions in attempting to collectively raise £30,000 for great causes. Over the past few years the Cellular Solutions’ team 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 fundraising.

For my personal fundraising target I am looking to raise £500+ for Marie Curie Cancer Care, in recognition of the fantastic support they gave my father when we lost him to cancer 5 years ago.

Having previously taken part in 2 of these fundraising events with Cellular Solutions, I know from past experience that they are not a challenge to undertake lightly. However on this occasion, whilst my colleagues are taking part in a 260km bike ride in France, cycling from Orleans to Poitiers, I have had to step in and take on the role of support vehicle driver as our original driver has had to pull out. Not wanting to be miss out on the fun (or pain depending on your viewpoint), I have agreed to run 15km across the 3 days in between my duty of driving the support vehicle.

Having never been a fan of running, no doubt this shall come as a shock to the system, but I am well into my training schedule of the “Couch to 5km” podcast (very aptly named!!)

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
