Christina Taylor is raising money for St Mungo's
Story
Starting on 16th May 2019, I am taking part in a 310km bike ride equivalent to more than 3 back to back London to Brighton’s!) along with 11 other work colleagues, where we’ll be cycling from Bergerac to Toulouse in France. This is to raise money for my chosen charity St Mungo’s, along with 9 local hospices and The Rockinghorse appeal through sponsorship from our company’s clients. For my personal fundraising target, I am looking to raise at least £500+ for St Mungo’s.
Over the past few years the Cellular Solutions Team have raised well over £180,000 – so with your help this event will help take us over the £210,000 mark – with the aim of reaching £250,000 by the year after next from our cycle fundraising, which will see Cellular Solutions Team having cycled the length of France!!
As many of you may know the homeless have been on my heart for a long time, especially in Brighton is hove.
With nearly 600 people dying on UK streets last year - an increase of 24% over the last five years. The number of homeless coming onto the streets continues at a rate of around 15 a week. People sleeping rough die younger, are more likely to get ill and are more vulnerable to violence than those in the wider population. To help them, it is critical that we work together with other organisations. St Mungo’s are a local charity that offers support to the homeless on the streets of the UK with a great presence Brighton and Hove.
Cellular Solutions will also match like for like any funds we raise up to £5,000. Our overall total fundraising target for this event is £32,000. 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.
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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Every donation makes a real difference to St Mungo’s and it would mean an awful lot to me if you would be so kind to help further their cause. Thank you!!
