Starting on 7th June 2017, I am taking
part in a 278km bike ride (equivalent to 3 back
to back London to Brighton’s!) along with 11 other work colleagues, where we’ll be
cycling from Poitiers to Bergerac in France. This is to raise money for my chosen charity Rays of Sunshine, along with 9 local hospices
and The Rockinghorse Appeal through sponsorship from our company’s
clients. For my personal fundraising target I am looking to raise at least £350+ for Rays of Sunshine. 

Over the past few years the Cellular
Solutions Team have raised well over £140,000 – so with your help this event
will help take us over the £180,000 mark – with the aim of reaching £250,000
over the next few years from our cycle fundraising, which will see Cellular
Solutions Team having cycled the length of France!!

Picking a charity has been extremely tough as there are so many
fantastic charities out there. The one charity that really caught my eye was
“Rays of Sunshine” who are a charity that aim to brighten the lives of children
aged between 3-18 who are living with serious and life threatening illnesses
across the UK.

The charities aim is to make the children’s wishes come true
which I just thought was amazing, I couldn’t imagine what it must be like for
someone so young to be battling a life threatening illness and to have the
opportunity to raise money for such a fantastic cause would be an absolute honour.

One story that really stuck in my mind was the young lad
Bradley Lowery who is battling cancer, he wanted to meet his favourite football
player Jermaine Defoe (you may have seen the story) his positive attitude and
the happiness you can see it brings him when being with Defoe is overwhelming.

Rays of Sunshine aim to fulfil wishes such as Bradley’s
which I just think is incredible and how much joy it must bring a young child
in such a difficult time.

Cellular Solutions will also
match like for like any funds we raise up to £5,000.  Our overall total fundraising
target for this event is £32,000. 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.

Every donation makes a real difference to Rays of Sunshine and it would mean an awful lot to me if you would be so kind to help
further their cause. Thank you!!
