Nine willing (or not so willing) souls have been rallied around and roped in for a mammoth two-month fitness and fundraising challenge for St. James's Place Charitable Foundation.

Leader of the pack, Karl Lehmann, is uber passionate about helping people to live a life of 'purpose' and has made it his life mission through the trademarked Dream It, Plan It, Live It philosophy... but what if you can't live a life of purpose?

โ—    Do you know a child or young person living with physical or mental health difficulties or experiencing a life-threatening or degenerative condition?
โ—    What if you were a young person who is socially or economically disadvantaged?
โ—    What if someone close to you was struggling with cancer or you needed help to deal with the effects of cancer for a relative or close friend?

The vital care offered by hospices, the care system and charitable organisations are needed now more than ever. With the recent pandemic, mental health challenges have risen enormously.

People suffering from the illnesses or conditions mentioned do not have the same opportunities or chance at living a life of purpose that we do.

Karl, Harry and Dawn, the small team from Lehmann Financial Management, have encouraged, cajoled, and twisted the arms of friends to help raise much-needed support for those who need it most.

In 2021, the St. James's Place Charitable Foundation raised ยฃ8 million and gave a total of ยฃ11 million to charities that support people with life-threatening or life-changing conditions and circumstances.

The charity's work provides a lifeline and makes a real and lasting difference to many charities that help people to gain a purpose in life - or at least to make them as comfortable as possible in life.
In 2022, the My Virtual Mission campaign aims to go beyond this. Participants choose one of seven virtual missions to complete over a two-month period to raise as much money as possible.

The cost of living is rising and many people are fundraising for worthy causes including the Ukraine plight. One of the many reasons why you might want to support us is the uplift your donation will receive.

One example of this is on Wednesday (9th March) the employees and partners of St. Jamesโ€™s Place raised ยฃ900,000 for the Ukraine needs. With matching that pound for pound a massive ยฃ1.8m was finally donated.

As the saying goes, every little helps, so if you can only spare a modest amount, help us to help others.

The Mission 3500 team are hellbent on raising ยฃ3500 (one pound per mile). With pound for pound matched funding from St. James's Place, that'll be a whopping ยฃ7000! All of the money raised will absolutely go to the charities.

๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ป'๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜† ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€?

Each team member has chosen their virtual mission and stepped up to the challenge. It'll be a gruelling few weeks and no doubt there'll be a few expletives behind the scenes!

โ—    28.1 miles: ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ Anna is swimming the Hudson River, New York (plus 100 miles running)
โ—    107.5 miles:๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธLiz is walking Sandakhphu, Nepal to Gangtok, India
โ—    104.7 miles: ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ Dawn is running from Mount Fuji to Tokyo, Japan
โ—    2574 miles: ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ Simeon, Dave, Mark, Harry and Karl are cycling the North Coast 500 โ€“ a whopping 514.8 miles each!

โ—    695.9 miles:๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธJonathon Forrester a.k.a. Mr Doomsday Machine is cycling the North Coast 500 and an Australian walk of 181.1 miles. Is he mad?

A few of the team are on the wrong side of 50 and the wrong side of 15 stone! But that's giving all the more motivation to help improve the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves.
