THREAD. If you& #39;re after some #MondayMotivation & stories of nice things that have happened despite the ongoing apocalypse, here& #39;s a few examples of @CLIC_Sargent supporters & the incredible things they& #39;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& #39;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& #39;ve raised £430 & I& #39;m loving the brand awareness as well with the @CLIC_Sargent t-shirts from when they took part in last year& #39;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& #39;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">https://www.justgiving.com/fundraisi...
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& #39;d seen when I got into the & #39;office& #39; 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& #39;m a fundraiser...
I haven& #39;t mentioned all the incredible things are social worker teams are doing. It& #39;s not been easy, but @CLIC_Sargent social workers continue to provide exceptional help. It& #39;s just now it is all over the phone/online etc., at a time when their work is needed more than ever.
Anyway, that& #39;s that - a bit of good news & positivity for you all this Monday!
