Thanks for visiting our City to Surf fundraising page.
Here at Pareto Fundraising we are very privileged to work with a huge range of charities everyday, (how good is that?!) While we work with large and small, here in Australia and abroad there just aren’t enough hours in the working week to support them all.
So given the opportunity to support a charity for City to Surf outside of the 9 to 5 we wanted to support a charity that we don’t work with but whole heartedly support. Lots of the Sydney office are taking part (some runners and some definitely not!) but we are all aiming to raise as much money as we can for JWCT.
The Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust (JWCT) is a charity set up in tribute to and memory of Jeremy Willson. The charity helps people and projects that reflect Jeremy’s passions in life: athletics, geology, adventure and the environment.
Jeremy sadly died of new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) in March 2006. Jeremy was extremely unlucky. To date, only about 160 people are known to have contracted vCJD worldwide. He was reduced from the incredibly active, outgoing and successful person he was to a state in which he lost his ability to walk, remember, eat, co-ordinate, speak and do those things that we all take for granted.
Jeremy grabbed life in both hands and achieved more in his short 30 years than most would expect to do in a whole lifetime. He inspired and encouraged others to achieve things they did not think they were able to do.
The Jeremy Willson Charitable Trust (JWCT) has been set up so that Jeremy can continue to have a positive impact, on other people's lives. Here at Pareto Fundraising we know that the Sydney’s City to Surf is a perfect way to continue the charity.
