Company sponsorship

This week I have had to have 2 wisdom teeth removed under general anaesthetic, not a pleasant experience by any means however with my recent dental experiences I found it quite apt that today, "Straumann", a company focused on restorative dentistry should choose to sponsor me!

A very good friend of mine, Tracy Quinn is employed by the Straumann Group and kindly forwarded a letter from me to her boss Jason Longden. In my letter I explained about my charity challenge and how I am aiming to raise £111 every week until October. I also made reference to Straumann's core value - "achieving more is our future", particularly as achieving more was my New Year's resolution which led me to this challenge.

Jason kindly honoured my request by agreeing to sponsor me and very generously did so on my Just Giving page today to the sum of £120. Such a fantastic contribution can buy a tap stand with a gravity flow system in a country such as Bangladesh. This would provide lovely fresh water from a spring or unpolluted stream right in the heart of a village and prevent women and children having to trudge for miles to fetch clean water.

Adding together recent offline donations from my generous colleagues, online donations from family and friends via Just giving and the proceeds of my recent cake bake I have currently raised £682, that's 17% of my target!!

Heartfelt thanks to Tracy, Jason and the Straumann Group for the difference you have made, it means a lot.
