Green Light Trust’s Post

📣📣 LinkedIn, I need your help! 📣📣 On the 25th of this month, Dexter, my 12 year old son is cycling from Reading to Paris (325 miles!) over 3 days to raise much needed funds for 3 amazing charities Sport in Mind WheelPower - British Wheelchair Sport and Fanconi Hope Charitable Trust As you can imagine, this is a mammoth task and one which he has been preparing for, for months. From riding in blistering sun, torrential rain, 4 hour spinnathons, massive crashes and falls, hundreds of training miles & battling some of the hardest of hills that could be found in readiness for day 1 that includes crossing the South Downs. 📣 This is where I need your help! Dexters journey has gained some momentum lately, but really not as much as I think he deserves and want him to have. Can you help share his journey, reshare this post, share his donation page - anything that can help get his charity bike ride far and wide, get everyone to know about what he is doing. ⬇️ Below is the link to his donation page, should you want to share it or if possible, donate too. https://lnkd.in/enZGMS3P 👍 Also, should you want to, below is a link to his social media account where you can follow his build up and then the actual ride. https://lnkd.in/e3bwDEZU https://lnkd.in/eVpawPXV https://lnkd.in/exVPAg9Z I know this is a personal post in a professional networking site, but this is more than anything personal or professional - this will change so many lives. 👌I thank you so much, if you got to the end of this post - it means a lot.

Pushing Forward: $610 Raised and Counting for Meals on Wheels I'm thrilled to share a significant milestone in my journey towards the 50k Spartan Ultra race. We've successfully raised $610 towards our $1,000 goal for Meals on Wheels of Greenville. This achievement is a testament to the power of professional networks and community support. Training Progress: Today's training session was another step forward, pushing my physical limits and mental resilience. Each workout brings me closer to race day readiness. Fundraising Update: • Current total: $610 • Remaining goal: $390 • Impact: Providing essential meals and support to seniors in need The generosity of my network has been truly inspiring.

I'm excited to dive back into the Aspire Channel Swim 2024 for the 3rd time! 🏊♂️ It's not just about the physical challenge—it’s about making a difference. Every stroke supports those living with spinal cord injuries, and with your help, we can make an even bigger impact this year. 💙 Please consider donating to my JustGiving page and help me reach my goal for this amazing cause! #AspireChannelSwim #CharitySwim #MakeAWave"

24 days until one of my biggest challenges. A half-mile swim, followed by a 12-mile bike and a 5K (3.1-mile run). I don’t like running and I certainly don’t like swimming. (One of my goals is to simply not drown). What’s my why? Why would I put myself through this? Four reasons (and they all happen to start with “C”) Challenge - Life is short. Why not challenge ourselves and push ourselves outside of our comfort zone? When we are in rocking chairs watching TV (or VR) all day, we may wish we would’ve done more! Camaraderie - Doing hard things alone is very hard. Doing hard things with others takes away some of the pain and adds in some additional motivation. Commitment - I committed to it, so I am doing it! Charity - This is a charity event. I’m raising money for fatherless children - for both global and local partners. If you feel so called to give - you can do so below & I’ll certainly take all the good vibes I can get! What are you doing to challenge yourself this summer? I’d love to know! #tri #f4f #doinggood #challenge

Since joining Prosperity 24/7, I've come to realise that there's not much that brings us together like a good Love to Ride challenge. We managed to top our respective leaderboards in the recent May challenge, although Greener Kirkcaldy gave us an excellent run for our money. We got new people involved in the challenge, we saved an estimated 546lb CO2 through cycling instead of driving and as well as cheering on our usual stalwarts, I also discovered which colleagues will come through last thing on a Friday and undertake a round-the-island-cycle for the extra miles... Sure, winning is fun but what's really nice is to see the behaviour changes starting to take root in the segment of our company that aren't die-hard cyclists (and I include myself in that). Last September I noted that I'm a reluctant cyclist but I'm becoming less reluctant and more willing to do that commute by bicycle. I've also noticed our bike store becoming busier and less frequent cyclists populating the Love to Ride feed more often. That's no mean feat. As someone who deals with change while delivering projects, change isn't always easy to embed but I've always been a fan of gamification as motivation in the right settings. And one of those right settings will be Prosperity Day in September, when our colleagues and clients will compete for bragging rights but also for the much better reason of raising money for charity - this year, we're supporting Healing Waves UK and Jersey Hospice Care - two very deserving charities. So, if you want to do your part, why not sign up for or donate to the tenth Prosperity Day? https://lnkd.in/eFAaUGGf #Lovetoride #change #prosperityday #healingwaves #hospice #charity #cycling
