Phenomenal fundraising!

It's been a week of full-on fundraising activity, which kicked off with our second cake sale on Monday. The team (plus supporters Aneesa & Jo) churned out amazing quantities of sweet and savoury homebaked treats and once again our TrekAmerica & Exodus colleagues turned out to eat for a good cause. We raised just over £100, with the proceeds split between Team TrekAmerica & one of our colleagues in Exodus who's in the Joint Pains trailwalker team. ...Thanks everyone!

It tasted as good as it looked!

Having begged our local Sainsbury's to let us shake an Oxfam bucket outside the store, unfortunately they allocated us a weekday, which also happened to be a day of *pouring* rain. However we raised almost £25 over Thursday lunchtime which adds another chunk to our fundraising total (and at the same time had the pleasure of knowing there are kind souls out there on the streets of Balham).

However our biggest success came from simply emailing our friends, colleagues and business contacts and telling them what a difference their donations can make (and how hard the challenge is). They generously showed their support for the cause by donating a whopping £800 in just over a week. To top it all off, our parent company TUI Travel PLC also pledged a cheque for £500. What a great bunch of people we're lucky enough to know!
