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

💙 Time to Talk 💙 Talking about mental health isn’t easy but a conversation has the power to save lives. There should always be time to talk. Did you know 1 in 6 people in the UK report experiencing anxiety or depression each week. Here are some tips to consider when starting a conversation: 🔷 Ask open questions and really listen to the response 🔷 Have patience, it may take time and several conversations 🔷 Don’t try to fix or diagnose The more conversations we have around mental health the better. Support myself and the OneSource team as we do the Miles for Smiles challenge in February. Each of us will run, walk or cycle 30 miles in order to raise money for Mind. Our Go fund me page is linked below 💙 #timetotalk #milesforsmiles #conversations #mentalhealthawareness

This is an attest to good nutrition, genetics, and exercise training in sciences in order to achieve this debut!

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

📣📣 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.

The Plenitude Consulting team is hosting the Plenitude Games 2024 as part of our efforts to raise money for STOP THE TRAFFIK Group We have formed a variety of groups from 🏋♀️ weightlifting to 🏃♀️ running to 🏊♀️ swimming, all with the goal of raising a combined £5,000 (doubling our efforts from last year) As part of the weightlifting team we are pledging to lift a total of 3M KG❗ throughout the month of July - any donations / words of encouragement are greatly appreciated! 🔗 You can find the donation link here: https://lnkd.in/eRRPvSXA 💡 About Stop The Traffik: Over 50 million people are enslaved and trafficked every year. 1 in 4 are children. Most are women and girls. Unfortunately, this crime is on the rise, and climate change, conflict, and crises around the world continue to raise risk for vulnerable people. When we see people in need, traffickers see an opportunity to make profit, and they make over $500 billion in profit annually. STOP THE TRAFFIK has a solution. Through data-driven prevention, we can stop exploitation before it happens, build resilient communities, and protect vulnerable people from harm. Last year alone, STOP THE TRAFFIK guided over 3000 people to safety who may have otherwise been trafficked. #fundraising #gym #stopthetraffik #plenitudegames2024

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
