Friday, 24 January 2025, is going to feel like a very long day. I've been a Crusaders season ticket-holder for 14 years, ever since I moved back from London. Over that period the Crusaders won 7 more titles (14 in total!), so it has been a pretty good run. They also seem to have improved off the park, becoming increasingly involved in the community and raising money for a number of different youth charities. One of the cool things they do started a few years ago, when their Academy Manager, Aaron Webb, ran 102km around Malvern and Rugby parks to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation. Loads of people heard about it and started running with him, and it has become an annual event, getting bigger and better every year. In a fit of enthusiasm, I have signed up to be part of a big Anderson Lloyd team running in the 2025 event. Collectively we, along with loads of other teams, will be trying to run as many 1km laps as possible between 6am and 6pm. Perhaps naively, I have put myself on the block to run the full 12 hours. I have never tried a timed event like this, and I am definitely not at my fittest, so I don't know how far I will get. What I do know, is that it is going to hurt! But it is not just a running / walking / hobbling / crawling event – it is a huge day, with loads of runners, supporters, food trucks, Crusaders and Matatū team events etc. It is going to be a super fun day – so if you are around, come down to Rugby Park and get amongst it. Come and see us at the Anderson Lloyd tent, cheer us on, meet the players, even run a lap or two if you're keen. And it is also an event to raise money for the Child Cancer Foundation. The goal is for everyone running to make it around 25,000 laps, while raising $250,000. Neither of those things are easy. And one of them is actually really meaningful. So while I won't ask you to donate (as I hate doing that), if you want to chip in, you can do so here (https://lnkd.in/gaG8BYGK). *And to be clear – I checked – the Child Cancer Foundation is AGAINST child cancer. If you're on the other side of that issue, do not donate, this is not for you.

🚨CALLING ALL CONNECTIONS🚨 As you may know, our very own Dan Wooler (Group Vice-Chairman and shareholder), is currently competing in The World’s Toughest Row 2024 – a 3,000-mile race across the Atlantic in an ocean rowing boat. Dan has taken on this incredible challenge with three friends, all from his home city of Plymouth – hence the name of their boat: the Mayflower. You can find more details about the crew and their journey on their website: www.themayflower.co.uk During the race, Dan and his fellow crew members Glynne, Paul, and Dan L row in pairs for 2 hours, then sleep for 2 hours, around the clock, 24 hours a day! The crew is now over 4 weeks into the challenge, and feedback from Dan and the team is that it’s far more brutal than they ever imagined, despite over 200 hours of preparation at sea. They’ve faced: • 2 knockdowns • Sea sickness and injuries • Giant seas • Being shut in their cabins (for safety reasons) Progress Update: So far, the crew has completed an impressive 1,813 nautical miles, with just over 973 nautical miles to go until they reach the finish line in Antigua. 🚣♂️ Dan and his crew are undertaking this immense challenge to support two incredible charities: 1️⃣ Mustard Tree, a cancer charity that supported crew member Paul during his battle with throat and tongue cancer. You can hear Paul’s story here: www.themayflower.co.uk 2️⃣ star scheme*, a charity founded by Dan to support young people and their families who’ve experienced multiple Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) or childhood traumas through rugby. Learn more about the incredible work of star* here: www.starscheme.co.uk 💡 The crew is funding the cost of the crossing themselves (approx. £120,000) so that ALL money raised goes to these two charities. Their goal is to raise £200,000, and they’ve already reached an incredible £137,000. With your support, we can help them get even closer to their target. To put this into perspective, reaching £200,000 will allow star* to support an extra 400 young people and their families next year. 📢 How you can help: • Donate: Every contribution counts! • Share this post: Spread the word to your network. • Motivate the team: They’re regularly checking donations Any donations are much appreciated.

Thank you, thank you, thank you all that have contributed and helped me not only reach but surpass my fundraising goals so quickly! Together we have raised: 🚴♂️ $236 for American Heart Association's 100 Mile Bike Challenge - Achieving 131% of the Fundraising Goal 🏊♂️ $200 for American Cancer Society's 10 Mile Swim Challenge - Achieving 110% of the Fundraising Goal I always like to overdeliver on client projects by smashing the paid-media result benchmarks, but this time the round of applause does not go to the Advocaczi team, the recognition goes to all of you for helping me spread awareness and putting your hard dollars to work for an incredible cause! As promised (and requested by many) from the start, I will be sharing my Endurance Challenge pacing ever week, and so far my stats are as follows: - Cycled 74.96 Miles as of June 17th so I've reached ~75% of the target in 56% of the Month, it's going great! - Swam 2 Miles as of June 17th so I've reached ~20% of the target in 56% of the Month, it's going not so great! Before everyone gets on me for the 10 Mile Swim challenge, Miami had rough storms all of last week, which limited me from getting in the water - but I promise I will reach the 10 Miles by the end of the Month ... and if anybody needs me, I'll be in the water catching up on my swim miles! PS. While we already reached the fundraising goal, that doesn't mean the giving needs to stop, so if you are able to help and contribute: the fundraising links can be found in the comment section below #charity #fundraising #justgiving

🌟From Zero to Half-Marathon: Running in Memory Andy Tibbs 🌟 This April, I will be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in memory of our amazing colleague, Andy Tibbs, who sadly passed away last year to meningitis. To honour his legacy and raise awareness, together with my colleagues from Acacium Group, I'm supporting Meningitis Now, a charity dedicated to saving lives and supporting those affected by this devastating illness. 👉 Donate here: https://lnkd.in/etNqsis7 Now, here's the twist: I’m not a runner. In fact, I’ve run very little (if at all) before this challenge! But that’s about to change! Over the next few months, I’ll be committing to specific targets, in preparation for the race. My Monthly Targets: 📅 February: Run a total of 100 km 📅 March: Increase to 150 km, adding longer runs to build endurance. I’ll be compiling weekly summary posts to share my progress, challenges, and small victories. Whether it’s a tough run or a great one, I’ll let you in on the journey as I build toward the big day! 💡 Newbie runners, and seasoned pros - if you have any tips, tricks, or motivation to share, I’d love to hear them. What’s worked for you? How do you stay consistent? Let me know - I need all help I can get! This isn’t just about the race, though. It’s about remembering someone special and helping prevent other lives from being impacted by meningitis. If you’d like to help, please consider donating via the link above. Every step I take is for a world free from meningitis, and your support means everything. 🧡 Thank you for cheering me on and being part of this journey!
