The Not Forgotten combats the causes of isolation & loneliness for the injured and disabled Armed Forces community through social activities and challenges. This is a charity that has great significance for Ennis & Co Founder, Lynda Ennis, as it does a great deal for her 94-year-old father and military veteran, Bunny.
Bunny would like to fundraise for The Not Forgotten and has decided to do an exercise bike challenge for seven days to raise money and awareness for the charity, particularly as it’s the centenary year. Additionally, he wants this to help those who are shielding from COVID-19 and also spread some much-needed positivity.
For every kilometre Bunny cycles each day during the week commencing 3rd August, the Ennis & Co team will double this in their own preferred method of exercise. Although the team will not be able to complete this together in person, they will motivate each other along the way, screen grabbing progress, raising awareness for the charity and most of all, boosting Bunny’s dream to do something amazing and give something back.
Lynda Ennis, Founder of Ennis & Co, said: “The Not Forgotten holds a special place in my family’s hearts and so I am delighted to support the charity during its centenary year. I feel that this fundraiser is particularly relevant during the current time, as the COVID-19 situation has brought to light just how isolated some of our loved ones can feel. The Not Forgotten has contributed so much for our country’s veterans and I hope that this fantastic fundraising event will help give the charity the recognition it so deserves.
The Ennis & Co team is like a family and while we are unable to fundraise together currently, we will be motivating one another throughout this challenge and will try our very bests to do both The Not Forgotten and Bunny proud.”
Ennis & Co would be so grateful for any additional support from the wider community, either through donations or in raising further awareness of The Not Forgotten. To find out more or to donate please visit: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ennisco
