Ellie joined us, as my guest, following my recent marathon fundraising efforts, and it was a brilliant opportunity to continue raising awareness. Although I’ve always felt I had a good understanding of MND and the work of the MNDA, it became clear that awareness in our local area isn’t as strong as it could be. A key part of Ellie’s role is to educate, inform, and build that understanding — and she delivered exactly that. Across two insightful sessions, Ellie talked us through the disease, what it means for those diagnosed, and how it affects the body over time. She also shared the incredible support the charity provides to individuals and families, along with the fundraising events they run and champion across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. The passion Ellie has for her work was evident throughout. Engagement was high both in the room and over Teams, and everyone left feeling more informed — and more motivated to do even more. A huge thank you again to Ellie. We look forward to supporting the MND Association further in the near future.

- [Karl Hayward takes on Three Peaks challenge to support local community](https://norfolkchamber.co.uk/content/karl-hayward-takes-on-three-peaks-challenge-to-support-local-community/) - On Thursday 2nd July, Karl Hayward, an Account Executive in Norwich, will take on the National Three Peaks Challenge, climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in around 32 hours. It’s one of the UK’s toughest endurance challenges, combining long climbs, travel and very little rest. After a strong start to the year with his running, Karl wanted to push himself further. Backing a charity that makes a difference Karl is fundraising for the Norwich Community Sports Foundation, a charity that uses sport to support people across Norfolk. Its work focuses on inclusion, mental health and creating opportunities, particularly for disadvantaged people and those with disabilities. Programmes like disability football, dance sessions and the Realising Potential scheme give people confidence, support and a sense of belonging. Karl has seen that impact first-hand. He’s taken part in events, supported initiatives like Boots4Change and represented Everywhen in the Corporate Cup. Making every pound go further Karl’s efforts this year have already been boosted by the Ardonagh Charitable Trust (ACT). Through its match funding scheme, ACT supports colleagues’ fundraising by matching what they raise - helping turn good efforts into even bigger results. Since launching in 2017, ACT has helped raise millions for charities, adding significant extra funding on top of colleague donations. It’s a simple idea that makes a real difference: raise money for a cause you care about, and ACT helps to grow it. A tough challenge with a clear purpose The Three Peaks Challenge will test Karl’s endurance in a completely different way to running. Three mountains. Hundreds of miles between them. Tight time limits. Every donation will help the Foundation continue its work across Norfolk - opening opportunities, building confidence and supporting people who need it most. How to support We wish Karl all the best. If you’d like to support him, you can donate via his fundraising page. Every contribution will make a difference.

Special guests Martha Casey and Emma Fletcher-Dungay were in representing Norwich City Community Sports Foundation to present to us all and tell the story of the foundation, what it is, the people, how it operates and how we can support them even further individually or collectively moving forwards. We are incredibly proud, as a business to be a partner of the foundation, we have been involved since it started and recently signed up to another 3 years of financial support. Whilst they were here we took the opportunity to pass on some football boots to their "Boots for Change" Initiative. It's to assist adults, young people and children less fortunate than most that have a passion for the game but are unfortunately unable to pay shop prices, so The Nest has a shop that sells second hand sportswear and boots so that these people can still get involved and wear appropriate attire. We will continue to do this periodically throughout this year and beyond. We also got presented with a commemorative framed RunNorwich25 medal and pictures of last years Hugh J Boswell team, prior to them becoming Everywhen. Here you can see them dressed up as Lifeguards and a Shark, during last years event. Who knows what they'll be wearing this year?? Suggestions in the comments please :)
