At Almond Tree Strategic Consulting we are committed to doing our bit through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme. As a business we donate at least 10% of our pre-tax profits to good causes, focusing on charities supporting vulnerable young people, people with dementia and international humanitarian causes. And we get involved in charities and fundraising at a personal level, as trustees or by taking on fundraising challenges.

This year, I have taken on a winter cycling challenge for Alzheimer's Research UK.

I’ll be honest, dementia scares me. It destroys who we are and the relationships we hold dear. That’s why I’ve joined the Alzheimer's Research UK Cycling Down Dementia 2018 Pioneer Challenge; to raise money for dementia research. The official target is to cycle 300 miles over the winter (November 2018 to January 2019) but my personal target is to do slightly more that double that, 1000 km.

Please help me raise much needed funding and raise awareness by giving whatever you can on my fundraising page, where you can also monitor my progress and se the routes I cycle. Please also spread the word by sharing my fundraising page with your friends and family.

Thank you for your support, it will mean a lot on those icy winter mornings out on my bike!
