I'm taking a quick trip up to Sydney this weekend to get immersed in arguably the world's most iconic fun run. Why would I do that, you ask? I'm running for Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), Australia's leading not-for-profit striving towards an Australia free from alcohol harms: https://lnkd.in/ejgiHKDp It also happens to be a pretty remarkable, purpose-driven workplace. I would know, I work there. In my (relatively) short time at FARE, I've come to understand how insidious the profit-driven alcohol industry can be in driving rates of alcohol-related injury, illness, violence and other harms in our communities. Every day, companies relentlessly target people who are attempting to recover from an alcohol dependency by serving them up ads to buy more alcohol. The alcohol industry uses front organisations to make it look as if they part of meaningful change. But behind the scenes, lobbyists donate political gifts and actively block reforms to decades-old alcohol laws that would bring them up to speed with the digital age. And companies use complex data-driven advertising practices to bombard school-aged kids with products that are clearly designed to appeal to them. There are many more harms, just like these, that the industry perpetrates. All of that doesn't sit right with me, particularly as someone who sees health and wellbeing as a core part of my life. Something needs to change. For that to happen, we must have an open conversation about alcohol's role in our lives, one that is free of stigma and shame. A conversation about how alcohol is historically - and harmfully - interwoven into notions of Australian culture and masculinity. A conversation about how alcohol has become an inescapable part of sporting events and our time spent online. A conversation about how alcohol is the leading risk factor for disease for men aged 15-44, responsible for 40% of Australia's liver cancer burden and 25% of road traffic injuries. That's a conversation FARE fosters, every single day, through our Voices of Change project. It gives people with a first-hand experience of alcohol harms a platform to tell their story, counter the narratives spun by the alcohol industry, and advocate for the change our community so desperately needs. As I get all my race day gear prepared for the big day, I would love if you could make a small donation to get our fundraising over the finish line. Even $30 would go a long way to help us achieve the progress Australia needs. https://lnkd.in/ejgiHKDp
Do you hear that? That's the buzz of excitement in our offices, because it's officially City2Surf race week! 🏃🏃♀️🎉 Our team is itching to hit Sydney's streets to tackle the epic and iconic 14km fun run - and of course, the (in)famous Heartbreak Hill. 🥵 But before race day, we sat down with our team to learn more about why they are running for FARE. We’d love it if you would support our team by donating $30 to help us raise awareness, spark conversations, and break down the stigma around alcohol harm.

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

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

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
It's #WorldBicycleDay! So what better day to tell you that the 10th edition of Prosperity Day is ready to launch! 🚀 So far we've raised £160,000 for charity and this year we want to raise £40,000 for Jersey Hospice Care and Healing Waves UK Our annual charity fundraising event sees corporate rivals go ‘head to head to head’ in a fast paced stationary cycling challenge. Using our brand new Wahoo KICKR bikes to complete a virtual 30 minute race using 3D Race technology, teams of three will compete against each other to gain race day points which are added to their all important fundraising total and will see who tops the podium. 🚴♂️ 🚴♀️ 🚴♂️ Team captains, get your team mates ready and sign up here https://lnkd.in/eCS2ijBA #GreatMindsAlways #ProsperityDay #Clients #Colleagues #Community #Charity #VentYourFury #CorporateRivalry
Prosperity Day is 10! Join us on Friday 06 September

Vitality in action (without gas emissions) ... I am personally proud to see how Linxens' employees can be engaged and committed towards their Communities. Record has been broken, not for the sake of the record but for helping even more our Communities. #ProudtoBeLinxens #Vitality #Communities
Linxens, recently organized its second annual "Glocal" Challenge, a charitable event aimed at raising funds for local charities. The event spanned from October 7th to the 21st and saw the enthusiastic participation of over 700 employees from various locations around the world. The main objective of this Challenge was to encourage employees to engage in sporting activities such as running, walking, and cycling, contributing to a good cause. Each participating team recorded their distances covered during these activities, and for every kilometer completed, Linxens pledged to make a donation to local charities supported by the employees. Glocal Challenge is part of Linxens' #CSR program called "Vitality," within its communities pillar. The program aims to create a positive impact on society by supporting various initiatives. This event was a great success, with participants collectively covering an impressive distance of up to 45,000 kilometers. This achievement showcased the dedication and commitment of our employees giving back to the communities. Thank you to all the participants for their wonderful contribution, and dedication it truly made a difference. Special thanks to our champions Stéphane Sarlet, Amadou Tall, and Kent Rosberg for their outstanding performance. #LinxensInside #VitalityResponsbileTogether
