Ukraine Appeal - Charity walk/ride
After a hiatus of nearly 3 years caused by the pandemic I am once again reaching out to you looking for your financial sponsorship. The difference this year is rather than a sporting event providing thew opportunity to fundraise for a UK charity the focus is wider afield – UKRAINE
The blurb on my firm's JustGiving page reads:-
We are virtually walking the width of Ukraine throughout the month of June!
As a firm, we like many others have been deeply troubled by the current situation in Ukraine. Following the Russian invasion, to date there have been over 3600 civilian deaths as a direct result. Livelihoods have been ruined and thousands of civilians have had to leave their homes in search of safety.
We have decided to do our part in raising funds on behalf of the Red Cross which will go to those affected most, to provide much needed support during this devastating time. Over the whole month of June, all our staff will be clocking in the miles as we attempt to virtually walk/cycle the width of Ukraine – a mere 785miles!
With training underway and trainers at the ready, any donation would be greatly appreciated and will provide vital support to those in their time of need. We will be posting our progress weekly on our LinkedIn page, with photos of our intrepid staff, so you will be able to keep up to date and cheer us on during our virtual journey!?
The Charity and I would be really grateful if you would make a donation to this fantastic cause. The link for the JustGiving page, where you can make an online donation, is as follows:?
If you can allow the charity to claim Gift Aid on your donation, then the charity gets an additional 25% on top of your donation, courtesy of the government.

I also apologies to those that receive multiple copies of this email – you are obviously on more than one of my distribution/group email lists
Kindest regards
