A Heartfelt Community Effort in Honour of a Team Member’s Daughter
At Rocket Graphics, we are proud to share the incredible news that, over the past 12 months, we have raised more than £10,000 for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. This remarkable achievement is the result of the collective efforts of our colleagues, clients, suppliers, local businesses, friends, and family. The fundraising journey culminated in a special cheque presentation on 17th December, where Kevina Goodchild, a representative from the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, accepted the funds on behalf of the charity.
This initiative was deeply personal to our team, as it was inspired by the story of one of our own – Tim Pelerin – and his 3-year-old daughter, River, who lives with cystic fibrosis (CF). Driven by their experience, we set out to not only raise vital funds but also to shine a light on the daily challenges faced by individuals and families affected by this life-threatening condition.
A Creative Approach to Fundraising
From bake sales and raffle draws to pumpkin carving competitions and beyond, our team has embraced creativity and collaboration to achieve this incredible milestone. Along the way, we’ve gained a deeper understanding of the relentless physical, emotional, and mental toll that CF takes on sufferers and their loved ones. Daily medication routines, intensive physiotherapy, and stringent precautions against infections are just some of the many challenges they face.
Tim Porter, Founder of Rocket Graphics, reflected on the journey: “We are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved as a company and as a community. We want to thank Tim and his wife Anne-Marie for opening the doors to their world, allowing us a glimpse into the daily challenges they face. Their bravery and strength have been a constant inspiration.”
A Community United
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to this effort, including the wonderful community at Croxley Park. This initiative has shown us the power of coming together for a common cause and the incredible difference we can make when united by compassion and determination.
For those who wish to support this worthy cause further, donations can still be made at www.justgiving.com/page/rocket-cf. Together, we can continue to make a difference for those living with cystic fibrosis.
