Charity of the Month: Flowerline’s Wales to Wellow

 

We recently donated £100 to our client Flowerline, as our contacts Julian and Jo completed a sponsored 220 mile bike ride from Wales to Wellow.

Their goal is to purchase equipment for the Nottingham Breast Institute, which they have successfully been doing for a number of years now.

“Through cycling numerous long-distance routes and continuing to hold The Strawberry Ball, our group has raised approximately £300,000 which has enabled the hospital to purchase a mobile breast screening unit (which is still in situ today in Newark Hospital’s Car Park), and a new state of the art mammographic scanner. Some of the money raised has also been shared with the Breast Cancer Now charity, which concentrates on research into this cruel disease.” – From their JustGiving page.

We’re proud to be able to support such a worthy cause, and are happy to be able to report that the ride was a success! “Everything went well, the weather was kind, more hills than expected!” – Jo

Cancer has affected so many of our loved ones, so we’re always interested in supporting charities which support research and awareness campaigns.

“We have lost too many other friends and family members, and currently have friends battling their own battles. This only fuels our drive to keep fighting the fight.” – From their JustGiving page.

If you would like to make a donation of your own, here is their JustGiving page.
