Connah's Distance Unknown Cycle
Connah Lloyd is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support
Story
Hello everyone!
Firstly thank you for supporting my fundraising efforts. I will be fundraising during the month of October, and i pledge to cycle 1km for every £1 raised during this month. I will undertake the total distance during the month of November, on a wattbike at Mid Suffolk Leisure Centre. Basically, if you want to see me suffer, then dig deep! :)
o 145km - £145 could pay for a Macmillan Grant to support the cost of travel to hospital for cancer treatment
o 221km - £221 could pay for a Macmillan nurse for one day
o 573km - £573 could pay for a Macmillan Information and Support Assistant for a week
I will track all my cycles in November using the Wattbike app & Strava so there's a record!
My employer Everyone Active has partnered with Macmillan, and over the next two years we’ll be raising vital funds to help the charity achieve its mission of being there for every person living with cancer. So far we've raised over £15,000 for this fantastic cause, through a variety of different activities.
At Everyone Active, we're determined to support the causes that are close to the hearts of both our colleagues and customers. This is why we have pledged to support Macmillan for the next two years (2019 - 2021).
Macmillan’s ambition is to be there for every person living with cancer and provide them with tailored support when they need it most. While cancer is not always life threatening, it’s almost always life changing, and having the right support can have a huge impact on a person’s physical and emotional wellbeing, as well as significantly improve a patient’s recovery.
Our colleagues and customers will be joining forces to raise a target of £140,000. This would be enough to fund two Macmillan professionals for the whole year, enabling them to provide support to more than 500 patients.
Thank you for playing your part in helping us to support Macmillan.
