Three midlife moments...all for two awesome charitable causes
Event date: Aug. 18, 2023
Dear friends and colleagues,
I hope this finds you all well. As my 50th birthday approaches, I have decided to mark the year by committing to three physical endeavours (aka midlife moments of madness) to raise money for two important causes:
- In April I’m running the London Marathon for the third (and final) time
- In June I’ll be completing the UK Three Peaks Challenge (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) in 24
hours alongside some GPE colleagues
- In August I plan to scale the iconic Matterhorn mountain in Switzerland
Whilst I recognise that you all get many requests for sponsorship, I’m putting my creaking bones through these three challenges on behalf of two charities which tirelessly carry out important work to benefit the next generation:
- The Outward Bound Trust (OBT) of which I am fortunate to be a Trustee: UK educational charity that
transforms the lives of 25,000 young people annually through outdoor adventure experiences.
- XLP (eXceL Project) with whom GPE has a 3-year strategic partnership: London charity that works with,
and empowers, 4,000 young people from 9 inner-city London boroughs each year to complete their
education, avoid anti-social behaviour, and ultimately become independent and confident contributors
within their communities.
Any further motivation that you can give through supporting me in raising money would be hugely appreciated, with every penny raised going to these two amazing charities.
I am also committing to match the first £5,000 raised with a personal donation of £5,000 to OBT.
Thanks so much in advance for your support.
Best,
Nick
