One Last Ride John Robson, Senior Architectural Technician at Morrison Design, has successfully completed his 2,024 mile challenge with one last ride around our local park, Darley Abbey. John has been raising money for Alzheimer's Society, a charity close to his heart after both of his parents suffered with dementia. He has raised a staggering £1,036. The challenge has seen John averaging around 39 miles per week, every week during 2024. With no time off for holidays he’s cycled on an exercise bike on a cruise ship and on holiday in North Carolina. But it’s not all been plain sailing as he’s contended with some terrible weather and, just when he thought things may improve, the Great British Summer brought lots more rain. As if this challenge wasn’t difficult enough, John decided to renovate a vintage Raleigh Chopper and ride his 15 mile Ashbourne to Derby commute on it. After one mile round Darley Abbey park Pete and Josh can vouch for just how difficult this bike is to ride. Nik Clarke, Director, said: “The whole Morrison Design team are immensely proud of John. The commitment and dedication he’s shown throughout the year is inspiring. The money he has raised will support Alzheimer’s Society’s goal to work towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. Well done John - enjoy your well deserved Christmas break.” John’s year in numbers: 🚴 2024 miles ridden 🙏£1006 raised 🚲 630 miles ridden on an exercise bike 💰 £300 raised from the Raleigh Chopper auction 🥵 23 miles ridden on a Raleigh Chopper 🥰 19 very kind donors 😨 11 miles ridden at the velodrome 🌍 Cycled in 4 different countries (UK, France, Spain, USA) 😬 2 punctures 🏅 1 challenge completed John’s JustGiving page will be accepting donations until mid-January, so if you’d like to donate, please click here: https://lnkd.in/e65wydd5

The Projector Project (An Update): As some of you may not know, over the summer our 15 year old projector began failing. We have been fortunate to have it last this long, but we are in dire need of a new projector. As a nonprofit, a purchase of this size is nearly impossible, so we are working on applying for grants as we continue trying to raise funds for a new piece of equipment. Luckily, this week we were able to reach out to a new company that has brand new laser projectors available to us for around $32,000. This is closer to the original $35,000 that we were quoted, but a far cry from our most recent quote of $65,000. Not only are these projectors a huge upgrade from what we have now, but they also eliminate the need for us to run exhaust, as well as purchase expensive bulbs. This alone would save us thousands of dollars per year in our electric bill and projector bulb purchases. We are hoping that the knowledge that we can find a brand new projector for nearly HALF the price of what we were expecting to pay offers a ray of hope to the people of our Community the way that it has us. While a number of generous contributions have been made towards this project, the reality is that we still need over $25,000 to finalize the purchase of this equipment. If you feel called to do so this Holiday Season, we are asking for individuals and businesses to consider making a one time, tax-deductible donation to our Historic 1928 Theater. With YOUR help, we are optimistic that we will make it to our 100th year anniversary in 2028. Can you help us keep the magic alive this Christmas? (If you are unable to make a monetary donation, we ask that you share this post to help us get the word out that we are still in need of a new projector.)

🚴♀️ Cycling for a Cause: Pushing Beyond Limits from London to Paris in Support of UNIQUE 🚴♂️ On October 18th, I’ll embark on an extraordinary journey with WE ARE DIOR, cycling from Dior New Bond Street to 30 Avenue Montaigne, a 300km challenge over three days. But this isn’t just about the distance, it’s about pushing beyond our limits for a cause that truly matters. We’re raising funds for UNIQUE, a charity that provides critical support to families affected by rare chromosome disorders. One of our team members knows firsthand the challenges of discovering and navigating their child’s 15q duplication syndrome. UNIQUE stands by families like theirs, offering vital guidance and hope when it’s needed most. This ride will test us mentally and physically, but it’s nothing compared to the daily challenges faced by those living with rare conditions. Every kilometer will be ridden with purpose, and we’re asking for your support to make it count. ✨ Your donation can make a real difference providing vital aid to those who need it most. Help us go the distance for UNIQUE by donating through JustGiving. This isn’t just a ride, it’s a testament to how far we can go when we push ourselves for something bigger. Together, we can help change lives. 🙌 #PushYourLimits #CyclingForACause #LondonToParis #SupportUNIQUE #Dior #MakeADifference #BeyondLimits #WeAreDior

https://gofund.me/ce0cdf41 SECOND CHANCE AT AN ADORABLE CHIBI ILLUSTRATION! In order to help a couple of amazing humans avoid homelessness, I'm offering custom chibi illustrations this week to those who donate! Here are the details... Only until October 25th, for every $100 of your donation made to help Danni and Lily to avoid homelessness, you will get 1 chibi illustration! You can either get a custom design or let the artist create one for you. The illustrations will be provided as the artist can fulfill them. Illustrations will be provided in both jpg and png format, which will make them great for stickers, campaigns, profile pictures, emotes and so much more! All donations can be made through the linked GoFundMe or by contacting me directly if you would like to donate outside of the platform. Once the donation is made, you will be contacted within 5 days for needed information. Danni and Lily are two friends who are unexpectedly being forced to move, as their apartment company unceremoniously chose not to renew their lease at the last moment. They have 1 - 2 months to secure the funds for a new place before they must leave. The need is urgent. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to them and help them regain their footing. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your network would also be immensely appreciated. #housinghelp #support #donate #helpmemove #charity

House Rabbit Network is embarking on its largest-scale project yet: a full internal reconstruction of the Westford shelter. This project is a huge step forward for us, because not only will it allow us to house more rabbits in the shelter, but we will be adding a clinic space within the building as well. This clinic space will be a game changer for us, allowing us to perform our own small-scale medical procedures including spays and neuters, and we hope that in the next year or two we will also be able to open this clinic to the public. This clinic will save us an incredible amount of money over the long term, allowing us to reallocate funds that would have been used for these procedures to other endeavors for the bunnies. Ultimately, this construction project will make us more self-sufficient and will ensure we're using the donations of our supporters in the absolute best way possible to save even more bunnies than we have in the past. But this life-changing project will not be possible without each of you. As a thank-you to our supporters for making this new space a possibility, and to incorporate all of you and your love for your bunnies into our new space, we are offering four tiers of thank-you gifts to individuals and teams who help us create this space. Based on how much an individual or team raises, they will get a small, medium, or large painting of a bunny they would like to commemorate, which will be placed on a wall of honor in our new space. Anyone can create a fundraising team and ask their family, friends, colleagues, etc to join their team and all work together to raise funds for this massive undertaking. Any team or individual who raises enough money (even if the individual is also part of a qualifying team!) will be eligible for these thank-you gifts: $1000 raised - small bunny painting $2500 raised - medium bunny painting $5000 raised - large bunny painting The fourth tier is the highest honor we can give, and will go to the top three individuals or teams who raise the most over $10,000, giving them the honor of naming a room in our new shelter after a bunny or person of their choice. This will be in addition to them also receiving a large painting of their bunny of honor. On top of all of this, we have an extremely generous supporter who will be matching this fundraiser dollar for dollar up to our goal of $200,000, so for every dollar you help us to raise, you can know it will have double the impact! This fundraiser will be going until August 30th, directly after which we will follow up with our supporters on the thank-you gifts they have earned. We plan to have an unveiling of the wall during an Open House to show you all the new space, which will take place sometime in the Fall. Thank you all for being a part of this new chapter for HRN!

It's #opensourcecreative time. The embryonic thought on this came out of an abortive concept for the SIS Pitches brand refresh I'm working on. Introducing Strata Base (beta).* A future-forward display font, inspired by spending too much of my childhood watching sci-fi. In space, no-one can hear you kern. Full character set available in TrueType and WOFF at iamsteve.uk/osc As usual, free-to-use for charities and non-profits. Consider a donation to Surfers Against Sewage if used in any for-profit endeavours. *This is the first font I've followed through to this stage, so I'm calling it a beta version. Please don't expect perfection, type nerds. Feedback welcomed. #type #typography #customtype #customfont #fontdesign #opensource #nonprofit #donate #saveouroceans #saveourrivers
