#ONECHALLENGE4CLAPA

March 27, 2017

This week’s staff blog is from our Challenge Events Fundraiser Eden!

I am excited to write my first staff blog for CLAPA. I have only been with the team for 4 months but it has been fantastic so far! Everyone has been so welcoming and supportive over that period. I love working alongside so many amazing CLAPA supporters and passionate colleagues in making sure CLAPA provides the best possible support to people affected by cleft.

Since starting in late November last year it has been a busy four months! I have been working hard to set up a challenge events calendar for CLAPA, recruit participants, and manage the stewardship of our amazing challengers. We have had Danny Watson and his amazing 4907 pull ups in 19 hours, George Whittaker and his 5 marathons in 5 days in Florida, and many other amazing challengers over the last few months. All at the CLAPA office are inspired by your determination, passion and dedication to support our organisation. Thank you everyone for challenging yourself for us.

We now have over 130 amazing people this year ready to take part in some form of challenge event and it grows every week! I have been amazed by the response from our supporters and humbled that so many want to ‘give something back’ to us.

Going forward, we are now creating a new challenge event section on the website, preparing for the CLAPA Abseil Challenge on May 20th and finding more challenge events for you to choose from.

I’d just like to say ‘Thank you’ to all the wonderful people who are challenging themselves for CLAPA this year. You are all heroes for wanting to do something for us and raise money. The passion that people show for the charity and the desire to support it is truly amazing.

I invite everyone to take part in #ONECHALLENGE4CLAPA this year. It could be small, or big but please don’t be shy, we welcome everyone to #TeamCLAPA with open arms!

Look out for further challenges on our Facebook pages!
