Running for a good Cause: My Paris Marathon Experience ❤️ Last Sunday, I finished the Schneider Electric #ParisMarathon in 4h 02min 52sec 🏆 But this wasn’t just about setting personal records or enduring the 42.195 km, it was about running for a cause greater than myself. Therefore together with my employer igus France I collected donations for Médecins du Monde. 🌟 It’s truly remarkable to witness 1,324 Paris Marathon runners joining forces, collectively raising 13,172 donations, resulting in an impressive total of 678,031 € for 26 organizations committed to making our world a better place. 🌎✨ If you’re active in a sport, why not for a good cause? It’s a powerful way to combine your passion with purpose. You will not only find donors among your friends and family, but above all in the company your working for. Considering charitable giving, remember that generosity doesn’t just benefit only the recipients. In many places your company can get back a portion of its donation through tax deductions, making it a win-win for everyone involved. So, whether you run, donate, or support, let’s do it with the intention to create positive change. And to igus France, thank you for setting an example of corporate social responsibility.   Let’s make a difference together – one step, one donation, one marathon at a time. 🌍 #ParisMarathon #CharityRun #SocialResponsibility #CorporateGiving #Medicinsdumonde #MarathonParis

Participating in the Champagne & Oyster Cycling Club of Monaco’s Annual St. Tropez to Monaco Charity Bike Ride for the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation was an inspiring and humbling experience. As we pedaled through the stunning landscapes, it struck me how similar this journey is to the path companies take when striving for growth and success. Just like a long-distance ride, building and nurturing a business requires endurance, teamwork, and a clear vision of the goal. Fundraising for a charity and for a business share common threads. Both require: 1. A compelling story: Whether it’s a cause close to our hearts or a business vision, the story behind the effort motivates and mobilizes support. 2. Commitment and passion: Dedication to the cause or the business is vital. It’s the driving force that keeps us going, even when the journey gets tough. 3. Community and support: Success is never achieved alone. It’s the community’s support, whether it’s fellow cyclists, donors, investors, or customers, that propels us forward. 4. Milestones and goals: Setting clear milestones helps track progress and keeps the momentum alive, be it in fundraising or business development. Riding for the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation reminded me of the impact we can make when we align our efforts with our values. The funds raised will support projects that teach children essential water safety skills, potentially saving lives and empowering communities. Let’s carry the same spirit of dedication and purpose into our professional endeavors. Together, we can drive meaningful progress, whether it’s for a charitable cause or a business venture. Thank you to everyone who supported this event and to those who continuously support our professional and philanthropic journeys. Let’s keep pushing boundaries and making a difference, one step (or pedal) at a time. #Charity #Fundraising #CyclingForACause #BusinessGrowth #CommunitySupport #PrincessCharleneFoundation #Inspiration #ProfessionalJourney #monaco #cocc

💛 We've had so many exciting matches recently that we can't wait to share some of them with you. First up 4 All Foundation and Neo | Best for the World B Corp™! When Neo co-founder Nick met A Good Thing’s Anna at a ‘People Planet Pint’ meeting in Shropshire, he knew immediately the platform would be a great way to share a no-longer-needed office printer. Nick commented: “The whole process was super easy! It’s such a great initiative, and we’re delighted to have found a great new home for our printer. We recommend other businesses give it a go!” While in the process of setting up as a new charity, the 4 All Foundation spotted A Good Thing on Instagram. They reached out to ask about the platform and immediately signed up! George, the Foundation Lead, told us a bit more about the charity: “We’re a huge operation! We grew out of the Marches Academy Trust, as we were offering programmes to local people and wanted to go further. We set up as a charity and now have two hubs." 🖨 🌟 The donation has brought printing power to the local community! A huge thank you to Neo and 4 All Foundation for being members of the A Good Thing Community. 💛 🌻 #charity #circulareconomy #sendlesstolandfill #sustainable #sustainability #thankyou #supportlocal #recycle #reduce #reducewaste #charityneed #supportlocal #sharingeconomy #repurposing #repurpose #upcycling #ewaste #ewastemanagement #ewasterecycling

#gymshark66 Monday again. This weekend I learnt that my 66 day challenge to make something a habit is not an original one. Gymshark have been running a 66 day challenge every year at this time for a while. As many of you well know, fitness and exercise, however well intended I am, are not high on my to do list. What similarity could there possibly be between the CEO of a small but impactful charity Small Acts of Kindness pledging to reflect for 66 days to make it a habit and a 66 day fitness challenge by a multi million £ gym company? This is what we both share: "Celebrate the small wins" It is there on the Gymshark website and on a post it right next to my desk. Today I'm reflecting on just what those small wins mean to me and the difference they make. Last week my small wins were completing and submitting three grant applications alongside an incredibly busy week with more than the usual number of curveballs thrown in for good measure. I didn't think I could do it, but I did. Every charity needs small wins, every day and we celebrate each and every one. As we begin our new financial year, we will need around £250,000 of small wins to ensure we continue to keep thousands of older people warm when they cannot afford to heat their home. Thank you Noel Mack Mathew Dunn for the motivation to create and celebrate those small wins. Who knows, maybe next year I will hit the gym too! Day 20 of reflecting every day to make it a habit. Just 46 days to go #mondaymotivation #charity #csr #esg #community #socialimpact #investment

Last Saturday, our founder Gordon Miller embarked on an incredible journey, participating in the Chase The Sun Cycle, riding coast to coast. Every pedal stroke of this grueling 310-kilometre ride, completed in just 14 hours, was dedicated to raising awareness of modern slavery and supporting Ride For Freedom. What an amazing display of mental and physical strength! Now, we’re inviting YOU to join the #CycleRevolution and make a difference. Whether with friends, collogues, or solo, ride the way you want and help us raise crucial funds to help fight modern slavery. You have a choice in how you participate: Why not set your own challenge? It doesn't have to be anywhere near as intense as Gordon's. Your challenge could be: 1. Riding your bike every day during Anti-Slavery Week. 2. Taking your family out for a ride. 3. Creating a relay team with colleagues. 4. Organizing a group ride with your spin class. 5. Baking treats for the cyclist at your organisation taking part and sharing them to raise awareness and funds. Every effort counts, and every choice you make helps our incredible organization educate, raise awareness, advocate, and provide remedies for survivors of modern slavery through cycling. Ready to make a difference? Sign up for the Cycle Revolution and choose how you’ll contribute - https://lnkd.in/erw3b2cd #RideForFreedom #EndModernSlavery #makeadifference #cycleyourway #raiseawareness #jointhemovement #fundraising #sponsor #donate #AntiSlaveryWeek

Your organization is overly dependent on the success (or failure) of your work and you feel a bit stuck on how to change that (#aka, you're a major gift fundraiser). #akamajorgifts #majorgifts #topheavy #inarut #creativity #innovation #fundraising
