Thank
you for visiting our fundraising page. Gough Allen Stanley has been a media and
platinum sponsor for the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes for the last two years.
We originally got involved through one of clients, Drayton Manor Theme
Park where the walk is held. After seeing the heartache and years of treatment
children have to face, as well as the suffering of their parents, we felt we
had to get involved to do as much as we can to help find a cure.
On October 4th 2009, all our employees will be taking part in ‘Walk to Cure
Diabetes’. This five mile sponsored walk is taking place at Drayton Manor Theme
Park and will help raise funds to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research
Foundation (JDRF) in their mission to find a cure for Type 1 diabetes. This
form of diabetes strikes children suddenly and although it can be managed with
insulin there is no cure for its eventual and devastating complications which
can include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke and amputation.
Okay, so it is only 5 miles, but every bit counts!
Sponsoring us through this site, is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also
the most efficient way to sponsor us; Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in
tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Many thanks for your support.
