We cannot be any more thankful for the effort being put into the Churchill Charity Challenge. After another amazing week, a huge £1995 has been collected. This now takes our total to £12,216.86, 31% of the target.
Firstly, thanks goes to the lovely ladies in Marketing who raised £52 selling their homemade bakes - always a winner in the office. A special metion also goes to Paula Parkinson for organising the weekly Bonus Ball scheme, Nicola Meaney, who donated cakes to sell and to all suppliers, employees, family & friends who are continuing to sell the mugs.
This coming week there are several mug sale events. Mark Meaney will be selling mugs at Newcastle Market on Saturday 4th May - if you are about, please go and show him your support. Elizabeth Heeks and Kirsty Mayer will be at Morrisons Milehouse on Monday 6th May between 5.00pm - 8.00pm and Linda Taylor and Jane Williams from the cupshop in the same store at the same time on Thursday 9th May, again please go along if you are in the area & support them all.
Over the next few weeks we will also be at many venues selling the mugs, including the Ruby Bike Ride on 19th May where our very own Matthew Lindop will be taking part in the 110mile journey. We all wish him the best of luck! We will also be at the Potters 'Arf Marathon on 9th June & the Dougie Mac Moonlight Walk on 13th July. We are looking for more volunteers to go along & help us sell the mugs, if you are interested in coming along & helping please let Personnel know.
Finally, the Dougie Mac mugs have had a busy week popping up in many places on Facebook! One of Dougie Mac's most dedicated fundraising volunteers, who has lived with cerebral palsy for 26 years, is very pleased with her mug and took to Facebook to show it off! Dougie Mac quoted:
"She is an absolute dream and a true inspiration to our team, and I hope she inspires all of you when you are all undertaking your challenge"
If you are out and about this weekend and see some of the mugs on sale or you fancy taking a picture of yourself with your mug, then please send in your pictures and we will post to the blog.
Keep up the good work!
