Taking the time to verify details can save time and resources, benefiting both your estate and the causes you support. #Charity #LegacyGifts https://lnkd.in/e6Sxc4t8

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.

🙏 Thank You for Supporting Swim22 2024 🏊♀️ Dear valued donors and supporters, Our Swim22 challenge for Diabetes UK has officially ended, but the sponsorship continues! I want to express a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has donated and supported the Diabetes UK Swim22 challenge. Your contributions make a real difference in raising awareness and funds to fight diabetes. Diabetes is not just a condition but a global health crisis that threatens our vision and overall well-being. It is a silent thief, gradually stealing vision through complications like diabetic retinopathy. The eyes, delicate windows to our world, are threatened by this condition, and many realise too late when the damage is done. Even though the swimming part of this challenge has ended, our mission continues. Moving forward, I believe it is crucial to raise funds and create awareness to help those with diabetes. With the proper support and resources, individuals can manage their health and maintain a high quality of life. By donating to this cause, you can help provide access to essential medical care, educational resources, and support services for those in need. However, I can't do it alone; I need your support. By donating, you can join me in this important cause. No matter how small, every contribution brings us one step closer to a healthier future for everyone. Let’s keep the momentum going. Together, we can make a significant impact. Donate now and be a part of this vital mission. https://lnkd.in/e2vrH-Ck #visionaryleadership #americanacademyofoptometry #associationofoptometrist #visionexpress #diabetesuk #swimm222024 #unwomenuk #specsavers #inspiredwomenofworth #acebusinessclub #forbesbusinesscouncil #20daylinkedinchallengewithhaoma

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

IRONMAN FOR DIABETES PART 6 Six months ago I started training for the Ironman (triathlon) in Italy. I did this to raise money for the Diabetes Fonds. Every month I share my insights of what I learned. This month I learned a very interesting thing about: Thinking about nothing is sometimes pleasant, but not for too long. These days I have a lot more time to think, time to reflect on why I started this adventure, time to contemplate whether to stop or train even harder. It's good to look back regularly, to pause in the present, and look towards the future. The same applies in business life, whether it's with clients, your own employees, or your own work. Looking back is beneficial to realize what you've already accomplished, what went well, what didn't, and what you can be proud of. These 'lessons learned' can then be carried into the future. I do the same with training. Each training is a step closer to the goal with adjustments compared to the previous one. Adapt and apply. Furthermore, it's important to acknowledge what you've already achieved, where you reflect on all the work you've done. This helps the team stay engaged with the work instead of drifting away and losing sight of why they're doing it. And then looking towards the future. The next six months will be tough. I have to train even more and longer. But we do this to achieve the goal (finishing the Ironman in Italy) as well as possible. By outlining what still needs to be done to reach the goal, you sharpen the focus of all team members to continue with determination. I will compete the full Ironman Italy to raise money for the Diabetes Fonds. My goal is to reach €5.000 euro, currently I reached 62% of my goal!!! 🙏 I still need €1.855 euro. Share/like/comment on this post so that even more people see it. For now I would like to thank all the people who have already donated for their contribution! This pushes me to train even harder, thanks for that! 🙏 And on to the €5.000. You can donate via: https://lnkd.in/ePhCBSd3 Don’t wat for the perfect moment, take the moment and make if perfect! #diabetes #workhard #ironman #DiabetesFonds #reflectandlearn

Anyone remember "A Day Without a Whopper"? Back in 2019, McDonalds and Burger King put their rivalry to the side for a good cause. At the time, McDonald's donated $2 to childhood cancer charities for every Big Mac purchased. So, Burger King worked with them to host "A Day Without a Whopper." For one day, Burger Kings across several countries took the Whopper off their menu to encourage people to buy a Big Mac from McDonald's instead. It's a great lesson on the power of co-branding, and a reminder that out-of-the-box partnerships can make a huge impact. #BrandPartnerships #CoBranding #BrandStrategy
