Story
This year from Wednesday 9th Sept – Sunday 13th Sept, I am joining the dedicated and foolhardy 21 other Level 3 colleagues plus support team and drivers (all serious stuff this) who are spending 5 days together cycling up, over and across the French Alps in an attempt to travel 500 km and raise money for our corporate nominated corporate charity the Lennox Lewis Cancer Fund.
Early in July this year, a good friend and Level 3 colleague Gertjan Roosjen was tragically killed in a cycling accident. Gertjan was a keen racing cyclist and his enthusiasm for life touched everyone who knew him. We will also be raising money for a charity that Gertjan supported, an animal welfare charity specializing in primates.
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.
So please dig deep and donate now
