Starting on 19th June 2013,  I am taking part in a 225km bike ride in France; along with 9 other work colleagues, where we’ll be cycling from Paris to Orléans via Fontainebleau. That's the equivalent to 3 London to Brighton Bike rides!!

This is to raise money for my chosen charity SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors and Airmens Families Association), along with 9 local hospices and Sightsavers International through sponsorship from our companies clients.

 

Over the past few years the Cellular Solutions team have raised over £75,000 – which includes money raised on the last Cycle trip I took part in 2011, from Portslade to Paris, and this years challenge is even longer!! - so with your help this event will help take us over the £100,000 mark – with the aim of reaching £250,000 over the next four years from our cycling fundraising.

 

For my personal fundraising target I am looking to raise £500+ for SSAFA Forces charity. My Granddad is a former Captain of the Parachute regiment (2 PARA), so this is a charity close to my heart as they have provided the moral support and advice my family needed, when my Grandfather was diagnosed with Dementia.

 

Through two World Wars and every subsequent conflict involving Britain, SSAFA have provide lifelong support to anyone who is currently serving or has ever served in the Royal Navy, British Army or Royal Air Force, as well as their families. The ability to adapt quickly to their needs is still at the heart of everything they do and with ever changing and adapting services, SSAFA can provide vital support wherever and whenever it is most needed, and with the upmost respect.

 

Cellular Solutions will 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.
