You may know I work at Cellular Solutions. By 2017 we shall have raised £1/4 million+ for charities. There are just 38 of us here.

Starting on 3^rd June 2015, I shall be taking part in a 1,000km team office bike ride along with 15 other work colleagues, where we’ll be cycling for three days in a race to travel the length of France. Meanwhile ten of my colleagues are cycling 265KMs each from Orleans to Poitiers actually in France! This is all to raise money for my chosen charity Chestnut Tree House which is an amazing charity, along with 9 local hospices and The Rockinghorse.

We have already raised over £111,000 and in this “stage” we are looking to raise a total of more than £30,000. So with your help this event will help take us over the £140,000 mark.

For my personal fundraising target I am looking to raise £50+ for Chestnut Tree House.

Last year I volunteered at Chestnut Tree House and saw the amazing things they do for children and young Adults 0-19 suffering from life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses.The hospice also provides support for the whole family.

Chestnut Tree House provide care for 280 children and young people in Sussex and South East Hampshire and are supporting 91 bereaved families. Chestnut Tree House don't charge Families for their care.

It costs over 3 million to run the Hospice each year and only 8% comes from government funding. The Hospice hasn’t received the Government funding for the last 2 years so they rely heavily on charity fundraising/Donations.

Cellular Solutions will also match like for like any funds we raise up to £5,000. 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.
