Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My Company, Retail Marketing, have recently set up the Retail Marketing Foundation with the aim of helping both Charities Abroad and in the UK.
Here are a few words from them….
“Following a research trip to Tanzania, in conjunction with the Beta Charitable Trust, the Retail Marketing Foundation has been set up with the principle aim of “Helping people help themselves, by kick starting change”.
“Our first trip to Tanzania in 2014 taught us many things and we have identified some great projects to sponsor, but we also know that we aren’t going to change the world. What we can do though, is have a large impact on a small number of people through choosing the right projects and providing the right support in targeted way.”
“The Retail Marketing Foundation will continue to support projects in Tanzania as well as working with projects in the UK and your donation will help us do that.”
So thank you for your support.
I was recently moved to action by the stories told to us at our company meeting by the group of Retail Marketing Employees who had travelled to Tanzania to see what the Schools were like there.
I was shaken by the stories and videos of the lack of basic sanitation and amenities the Schools had for their children and I want to do what I can to raise some money to go towards providing at least one school with better washing and toilet facilities.
So I am going to complete 10 x 10k events in the UK and follow these up with a Triathlon Sprint on the 7th September.
I kick started the series off with a bang in the Oxford Town and Gown 10k – setting a new PB of 48:20!
Below are the other events I am going to be completing:
18th May – Manchester – GMR 10K
25th May – Folkestone – Coastal 10K
1st June – Worcester 10K
8th June – Dunstable – Whipsnade Zoo Stampede 10K
15th June – York – Castle Howard – 10K trail
26th June – Milton Keynes – The Cattle Creep 10K
29th June – Berkshire – Samaritans 10K
4th July – Derbyshire – Darley Abbey – Colin Potter 10K
13th July – Newark – Notfast Open 10K
7th Sept – Reading Triathlon Sprint – 450m Swim, 20K Bike and 5K Run
Please show your support where you can and give as little or as much as you can afford to.
Thanks
