A Chara,

I hope you and yours are keeping well during these unprecedented times. As you know Covid has destroyed livelihoods and economies worldwide. It has also ground the wheels of fundraising to an abrupt and sudden halt for many charities.

The Bonemarrow for Leukemia Trust is one such charity that has been greatly affected by it, just like so many others.

This summer, I will be cycling the Canal Greenway, and Back in the hope to raise €1,000 for this fantastic charity. A total cycle of 270km over two days(Dates TBC). The reason I have chose this charity is that it is a cause very close to my heart.

A very good friend of mine Rory fought but sadly lost his battle with Leukemia in 2017. Rory was a great footballer,Rugby player, and all round, just a great human being. His presence alone lit up any room. I will be undertaking this in his name. I have reached out to you today in the hope that you may be willing to sponsor us in any way possible.

I do appreciate that you may not be in a position to sponsor and I will not put any pressure on you to do so. You can still help us to no end by utilising your social media presence. We would please ask that you:

--Like our Facebook Page

--Encourage followers/acquaintances to dinate

--All online donations will be entered into a raffle, regardless of how much is donated.

--Share our posts regularly

--All sponsors will be heavily promoted and thanked

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I do so strongly hope that you will get back to me with regards to this fundraiser. Any social media help, or donation will do more for us than you could imagine!

Warmest Regards and Thanks

Richard Westman
