Hi everyone. Hope you are all well.
So after my last post about raising money for this event https://150mnd.com/ I really would like the communities help. There are 7 people, all over 50 (apart from one) who are all amateur walkers, going to walk a marathon (nearly) every day for seven days to raise £150k for the Motor Neurone Disease charities.
Money has been raised so far, but we really really would appreciate one or two (or three) headline sponsors that would appreciate the exposure to our global community.
We have famous people joining us for the walk (mainly ex pro sports people) and a massive Afterparty and auction when it's all over. There will be lots loads of national and regional TV and social coverage so you won't be left hanging in terms of exposure.
The problem I have is that because we (they) are all local people, they are thinking local peoples minds and the sponsors coming in, whilst healthy, are local businesses.
We *really* need a few heavyweight sponsors that have an affiliation with extreme endeavours, but also an altruistic outlook and would feel comfortable with aligning themselves to this kind of Herculean task.
If you feel you represent that company, or even have a contact, please please reach out.
I'm looking for essentially for the following... Male dominated brands, social and health brands, health drinks, footwear and outdoor, anti chafing, underwear, clothing brands, brands that can identify with how brilliant people can be and similar.
Think 7 amateur Bear Ghrylls walking 150 more less in 7 days and identify your brand with that. And as it's for charity, you could probably write it off anyway :)
In the words of Princess Leia...
Let's make it happen. (I know she didn't say that, but I'm sure you're picking up what I'm putting down :))
