Hello ! - Thanks for taking the time to visit Team Wake's JustGiving Page!
This year, HSBC are really committing to making a difference to people and families affected by dementia in our local communities; by working together in partnership with Alzheimer's Society.
We have made a commitment to support Alzheimer's Society, who fund important research, support the families of people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia and most importantly, support those who have it. We have an opportunity here to make a real difference to people who tell us that due to this disease, they feel lonely, frightened and not part of their community. Our contribution will mean that 850,000 people affected by dementia in the UK, get the support that they deserve and an opportunity to continue living well.
As part of this programme, #teamwake has made the crazy decision to run the 2016 Great North Run on Sunday 11th September. #teamwake is made up of 34 amateur runners, all HSBC colleagues from the North Region, with the aim of raising £30,000.
The course starts in Newcastle upon Tyne, and the 13.1 mile long route will take us through the city centre towards the River Tyne and over the iconic Tyne Bridge, where the Red Arrows pass overhead. The route will then take us through Gateshead where bands perform along the route to keep our morale high. We'll then pass through South Shields and onto Prince Edward Road where at the top of Marsden Bank, the view of the sea is breathtaking. From that point, we'll have just over a mile to the finish!!
Any donation you can give to the cause will be gratefully received - this is a hugely deserving cause so please help us support this fantastic charity!
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.
Thank you for helping us help others.......
