Andy's fundraiser for The Submarine Family and Rosemere Cancer Foundation

London to Brighton Cycle September · 15 September 2024 ·
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I’m aiming to ride the “London to Brighton” event on 15 September 2024 and raise money for two fantastic charities - "The Submarine Family (TSF)" and the "Rosemere Cancer Foundation". Please note that this page is in the name of the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity (RNRMC) - as there’s no way on JustGiving to “split it” between two charities. TSF (as part of the RNRMC) have committed to making sure any monies raised are split 50:50. So why these two charities? The first one (TSF) should be fairly obvious, with me having served almost 20 years in the Royal Navy with much of that relating to submarines - plus my current “day job” keeps me close to UK Submarine Enterprise. “The Submarine Family” brings together all parts of the submarine community: serving, veteran, family and supporter; providing a framework for fundraising and coordinated support in a ‘family way’. The second charity (Rosemere Cancer Foundation) is a little more “personal”. My dad was diagnosed, shortly after mum died in 2011, with Prostrate and Bowel cancer; double whammy after mum died – although they do say bad news comes in threes! Long story very short, Rosemere provided my dad with a genuine lifeline and were instrumental in getting dad through his difficult times. After his treatment, dad dedicated all his time to raising money for Rosemere; in an attempt to “say thank-you” for their help!
I’m very aware that “London to Brighton” isn’t in the same league as other charity events – but every little counts? Please help me to help these two fantastic charities; so that they can help others in need. If my LinkedIn network alone gives £1 each then I’ll easily smash my target of £1000 (£500 for each charity). https://rosemere.org.uk/; https://submarinefamily.uk/; My thanks in anticipation ….. Dolphin Code 35 & 26A.
