Birthday charity challenge for Sam
Sam Pella (pictured), Company Director at Mansfield-based promotional merchandise specialists Pellacraft, is planning to spend her 40th birthday year raising £40,000 for charity. In order to raise the required £40,000, Sam will take on 40 challenges,
which will test her both mentally and physically. Throughout 2018, Sam will undertake a number of daunting tasks
which includes cycling a distance of 1,300 miles, swimming 40 kilometres, walking 400 miles and baking 40 cakes. The money Sam raises will be shared between four charities close to
her heart, each of which will receive £10,000 each. The chosen charities are Cerebral Palsy Sport, Framework, Nottinghamshire Women’s Aid and the British Heart Foundation. Sam said: “I thought my 40th birthday shouldn’t be all about me and I
wanted to use it as a springboard to do something special. The 40 challenges will be completed throughout 2018 and beyond. I won’t stop until I have raised £40,000.”
