As part of the campaign, CMC Markets employees in Poland will engage in physical activity – cycling, running, walking, and rollerblading. Each kilometre travelled brings participants closer to achieving the goal and providing real support to children in need.
Kilometres that change lives
CMC Markets has long been involved in corporate social responsibility activities, supporting local charitable initiatives. The company, listed on the London Stock Exchange
, operates in many markets worldwide, and in Poland it actively develops not only investment and educational offerings but also social projects.
This year’s campaign continues the idea of combining physical activity with helping. The initiative is led by a team of employees who want to use their energy and commitment to support the youngest patients requiring expensive treatment.
– CMC Markets is primarily people. We believe that collective actions can genuinely impact others’ lives. That’s why in May we again turn kilometres into real help. After last year’s cycling challenge we know how powerful joint mobilisation can be. This year’s “Cycling May” also includes running, walking and rollerblading, but the goal remains the same: to act together and support children who need expensive treatment. Our challenge is not just a sporting goal, but above all concrete help for those who need it – emphasises Łukasz Wardyn, Executive Director responsible for CMC Markets’ operations in Poland.
Shared goal: 7,810 km and real help
Organisers encourage clients, business partners and anyone who wants to join the initiative. The challenge is open – anyone can contribute their piece, supporting the fundraising financially.
The aim is not only to reach the set distance but also to raise funds that will help treat and improve the quality of life for children with heart conditions. About 4,000 such patients are born in Poland each year. They often require costly surgical treatment. The fundraiser aims to support the most needy and is part of a nationwide campaign.
Success of last year’s edition
The previous edition of the “CMC Markets rides for children” campaign ended in great success. The team exceeded the target, covering a total of 6,478.6 km against a planned 6,000 km. Thanks to the participants’ and donors’ commitment, 16,166 PLN was raised, and the initiative was supported by a total of 135 people with CMC Markets’ involvement. The funds were earmarked for helping children suffering from rare genetic diseases – Rett syndrome and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
This year’s edition aims not only to replicate that result but to significantly surpass it – both in terms of kilometres and the scale of support.
How to help?
You can join the campaign by supporting the online fundraiser and following participants’ progress. Every form of engagement, regardless of scale, contributes to achieving the goal and supporting children in need of specialised care.
