Story

Myself and 25+ strong team of colleagues from Salesforce are embarking on a 190+ mile cycle ride from London to Paris to help raise funds to support a young, growing charity - Astriid - https://www.astriid.org.uk/s/

Astriid mission is to help unlock the UK's invisible talent pool by connecting businesses with professionals who have long term health problems but who still have many skills to offer employers.

Founded in only 2018 by David Shutts OBE after he was diagnosed with cancer, this organisation needs all the investment and support it can get to help it grown and change the lives of many people that are diagnosed with life changing illnesses on a daily basis.

Under its 1-1-1 model of integrated philanthropy, my employer Salesforce, is making its cloud software platform available to David for free, to enable him to build the organisation.

Salesforce will also be matching every £ raised through this event so any donation you can make, however small, will be great appreciated and will have a massive impact on many peoples lives.
