Archives for October 2019

Thank you so much to Laura for completing The Nationwide Building Society New Swindon Half Marathon in September, in just under 2 hours 22 minutes for Pelican! A tremendous achievement.

A-Plan Insurance: A-Plan Basingstoke Commercial Team selected us as their charity of the year in 2019 and have been very busy with an array of fundraising activities for Pelican Cancer Foundation.

Three members of staff held a sponsored golf day which involved 4 rounds of golf, one after the other, and an incredible 18.4 miles of walking over 14 hour time period. For this event, they raised over £550.00. They also held a sponsored gaming event that lasted 12 hours and raised £100.

In addition – the Commercial Team at A-Plan completed the Supernova 5k – Bournemouth Marathon Festival on 5th October, which has so far raised over £400 for us.

We’re really enjoyed working with A Plan and thank them for all their hard work!

 

Adam and Laura Alderson decided to fundraise for Pelican with an incredible Monkey Bike Challenge. Adam is a pseudomyxoma and multiple organ transplant survivor.

The couple rode two 50cc mini motorcycles over 2000 miles across the Pyrenees, through the roads of Europe through the mountains and villages and rough terrain. This has been an incredibly tough challenge – huge congratulations and thanks to Adam and Laura for completing it! Thank you.

Yorkshire Yaks Monkey Run ?
This year Laura and I will be riding two 50cc mini motorcycles called “Monkey Bikes” 2000 miles across the #Pyrenees, we will be taking the goat tracks and small roads through the mountains and small villages. Laura has never ridden a motorbike in her life ? we’ll carry all our “ stuff “ in a tank bag and panniers with no support. It will be hot, long days riding and fairly uncomfortable.  This year we will be supporting Pelican Cancer Foundation these guys play a huge part into the research and development of #pseudomyxoma treatment and below the belt cancers, Brendan Moran was the man who put me forward for transplant and saved my life now let’s help them help others like me.
