Sponsor Eleni Stathi for Legal & General Real Assets pedElle 2019

I am an associate at HTA Design and a mother of two spirited children. Passionate about all things well designed, I love setting myself new challenges I can conquer. After completing the Prudential Ride London last year I am ready to take on my next cycling challenge! For those who know me, I have not been a cyclist all my life. I was discouraged from cycling as a child, the little bit of cycling I did ended in falls and scraped knees. I picked up the bike again five years ago to encourage my son cycling and I have been commuting to work by bike since. By sponsoring me you will be supporting Coram. Founded in 1739, Coram is the UK’s first children’s charity. Since then, Coram has been helping to transform the lives of some of the most vulnerable children in our local communities. They give children the chance of a better, brighter future. The challenges children face today are diverse and complex. Coram help children in many different ways right across the UK to feel safe and loved, to lead healthier lives; they support their education and learning; they protect their legal rights when these are in danger of being ignored; and they strengthen families to help children thrive. This is how Coram makes a change that lasts a lifetime: Coram Adoption is the UK’s most successful adoption service. They find safe, stable, permanent homes and new loving parents for some of the nation’s most vulnerable children. Coram Voice provides advocacy support to children in care so they have someone to turn to, fighting their corner, whenever they need help. Coram Homeless Outreach is based in King’s Cross and works to help get young people off the streets and into secure and permanent accommodation. Coram Creative Therapy helps children with complex needs to process difficult emotions, enabling them to develop and heal. Coram Life Education is the UK’s largest school-based healthy living programme. It reaches over 850,000 primary school aged children in thousands of schools nationwide, helping them to make positive life choices. Coram Children’s Legal Centre provides free legal and rights-based advice, guidance and representation to families and professionals. CoramBAAF is the leading membership organisation dedicated to improving outcomes for children and young people in care. For those reasons please donate generously! It will encourage me to keep training and will help me pedal faster on those Italian rolling hills. Thank you!
