J.P. Morgan Round the Island Team raise more than £18,000 for the Trust
At a recent cheque presentation at J.P. Morgan Chaseside, the Trust were presented with a cheque for £18,662 which was raised by J.P. Morgan employees taking part in the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race.
For the past five years J.P. Morgan employees have taken part in the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Round the Island Race and the Round the Island Cycle Challenge. The latest cheque means that their support currently totals over £83,000. Nearly 100 people cycled the 70 miles round the Isle of Wight, hoping to beat the fastest yacht round.
Thank you to everyone involved for all of their efforts!
TESTIMONIALS
“Jay returned full of confidence, chat, and knowledge of sailing. Jay had ‘life’ back in his eyes. He enjoyed the whole experience. His highlight was the privilege of sailing a yacht with Ellen. He would love to sail again. He even cooked a lasagne on his own for his yachting crew (He never cooks!!) He was full of pride.”
- Mother of Jay, 16
TESTIMONIALS
“The week has been the best! I never I thought I would get the chance to do this, and I am glad my nurse told me about the trip. The best bit is being on the boat and just sailing around and even getting to steer! I’ve made loads of new friends, I’ll definitely stay in touch.”
