THREAD. If you're after some #MondayMotivation & stories of nice things that have happened despite the ongoing apocalypse, here's a few examples of @CLIC_Sargent supporters & the incredible things they've been doing so we can keep helping young people with cancer.
On Sunday, the #TwoPointSixChallenge took place. On what would have been the day of the London Marathon, over 100 supporters took part in a range of activities to raise money for @CLIC_Sargent. Here's the story of two of those challenges...
First, Lauren & Charlie, who ran up and down the stairs for 26 minutes! As you can see, it took a fair amount of effort... they've raised £430 & I'm loving the brand awareness as well with the @CLIC_Sargent t-shirts from when they took part in last year's Manchester 10k.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pennines Toby and his family ran 260 laps of their house. Toby was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in 2018 & his @CLIC_Sargent Jenny has helped the family since then. They've raised an amazing £5,000+! https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tobys-260-challenge?utm_source=Sharethis&utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=tobys-260-challenge&utm_campaign=pfp-email&utm_term=4a643d30315b4ddc97a7406de5859b22
Another supporter meanwhile has messaged to let us know that she is putting @CLIC_Sargent forward for a donation/award of £2,000 for our work in the North West, which is a wonderful & generous thing to do to help at this time.
This was just the first three things I'd seen when I got into the 'office' this morning (i.e. I walked the 10 meters or so to where my work laptop is). A lot of other incredible things have been happening, across the whole of the UK. And as I'm a fundraiser...
I haven't mentioned all the incredible things are social worker teams are doing. It's not been easy, but @CLIC_Sargent social workers continue to provide exceptional help. It's just now it is all over the phone/online etc., at a time when their work is needed more than ever.
Anyway, that's that - a bit of good news & positivity for you all this Monday!
