Our Christmas Challenge included rowing 250m, slamming battle ropes and power cleaning 15k. However, this summer we have decided to take on a new, and very different, challenge... raising some money for charity!
Our wonderful members at Train Together have been asked to find us 25 new people- they don't have to sign up, they don't even have to give us any money, all we require is they come along and enjoy a FREE WEEK at Train Together!! The catch? Well, there isn't one- unless you call 'having fun' a catch?
So, we have a deadline... Saturday 31st August... and we have a target... 25 newbies.
If we hit our target, £100 from Train Together will be donated to the wonderful Children's Ward at the RLI. Additionally, if any of our free-weekers decide they LOVE (and of course, we're sure they all will!!) what we have going on at Train Together and choose to sign up to one of our monthly memberships, we'll give a further 20% of each membership to the ward! (We know the sign below says £5... but we decided that we can raise more money if we increase it to 20%!)
Why the Children's Ward?
Many of our current amazing clients work for the NHS (statistically, is it approximately 10% of all our members!). They are so hardworking, passionate and dedicated to their jobs and we would love to support the work they do. Of course, loads of our members also have children; Neil (who has four!!!) has had one of his children spend four days in hospital with a badly broken arm (ouch!). Since, Neil has always really appreciated the importance of having a good local hospital, and would love to help make the experience of hospital as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible, for all children.
Sarah and Neil would love to encourage you to get involved!! Come along for your free week or, if you're already a member, bring along a friend!! (The more the merrier!!)
