Team MCFT gets behind charitable causes
We’re very proud of the fact that so many of our team are actively out there, raising money for good causes, all in their own time.
Here is a snapshot of just some of the fundraising activities that are going on just now including sky diving, marathons, and SAS training! See below for more about why they're doing it, together with links if you'd like to donate.
Skydiving for Luke
Dani, Zgora, Charlie, Stuart and Joe are doing a charity skydive when they go to Dubai to visit MCFT’s UAE offices in December. Dani explains:
“Sadly a very close friend of mine (Luke) passed away in July, he loved playing sports and was very successful in football. Luke supported the Reading FC community trust.
The money that we raise will go towards the charity. If you would like to donate please click on the go fund me page below. Any donation would be really appreciated, thanks!”
Marathon for Shelter Cymru
Engineer Scott is based in Wales. He says:
“I'm running the Cardiff half marathon on October 6th. It's my first event in a few years and I have decided to try and raise money for Shelter Cymru (Wales for those who don't know).
They do so much work for people living rough or in very poor conditions. So many of these are children and hurts me to see this. If anyone could spare some money to help it would be much appreciated. Just click on the link below. A £1 will do, every little helps”
Challenge series for Bloodwise
Engineer Michael has set himself 6 challenges throughout 2019 - 2020
"Late 2018 I was heartbroken by Auntie Carol’s Leukaemia diagnosis, devastating all that knew and loved her. In 2019 she lost her fight to Leukaemia after catching neutropenic sepsis. I’m doing these challenges to help raise money for Bloodwise in honour of Auntie Carol who was taken away from us far too soon. The challenges include; Rough Runner, Tough Mudder, Blenheim Palace Triathlon amongst others.
I would like to help Bloodwise to put a stop to Leukaemia as my family continues to be impacted by the devastating affects of Leukaemia, as another very special lady in mine and my wife's live is battling this horrible disease."
