Saying a fond farewell to ‘Movember’

brown_bear — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 12:12:17 +0000

As ‘Movember’ draws to a close, we all look back with fond memories at a truely entertaining and in certain cases epic moustache growing month! Yes we have seen horseshoes and handlebars, ‘My first’ and fully grown lip ticklers! Some of us where not able to see the month out, but all of us made the effort to raise awarness and the all important ‘moohlah’ for prostate cancer. If you would still like to contribute you can do so by clicking here, to all those who have done so all ready, Well done you have done somthing truly great! And a quick thank you to our other and in some cases better halves thank you for putting up with us this month!

Here are some of the final results.

Movember Update, Week 2

tiny_dancer — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 18:22:13 +0000

So we are 12 days into the month of Movember and everyone has been busy not shaving their top lip. A few of us may have some relationships to fix at the end of the month but it’s all in the name of charity. Why not support the cause and dontate towards The Prostate Cancer Charity.

More updates to follow.

a manor full of gentlemen…

and as such we will be donating our faces to the timeless sport of moustache cultivation! Yes that’s right, its official along with digital we also love moustaches! As you probably already know we are now in the month of Movember and up until the 30th we will be aiming to grow what can only be describe as the worlds most awesome collection of moustaches ever to be assembled in a single place!

Should you wish to do your bit and help give reasoning to what some here have already been told is madness, click ‘Donate’ and help us to support the 1 in 10 men that are diagnosed with prostate cancer!

And now to introduce the team…

From left to right we have JD (el capitan), James, Jay, Mike, Nik, Jon, Nathan, Des & Stephen. A rather dashing group, I’m sure you will agree, which from now on will be known collectively as, ‘WeLove…Moustaches’ (hours of thought went into that I can tell you)

Keep your eyes on the blog and our twitter page for updates and stories around our moustache growing exploits!

Henry’s Headway Challenge

d_noodle — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 07:33:24 +0000

On the 12th July 2010, a charity karting event will be taking place at Buckmore Park and is being organised by Mr John Surtees OBE for the Headway Trust Charity (Tunbridge Wells) in memory of his son Henry who was tragically killed in a motor racing accident in 2009 at the tender age of 18.

Vanquish Developments, friends of We Love…, will be taking part with two teams and we are hoping it will be a fun packed day for all involved.

We would therefore be extremely grateful if you would be willing to make a donation by donating online at www.vanquishdevelopments.com (follow the link on the homepage).

It is hoped that the day will be supported by Formula One stars, both from the past and present, as well as other celebrities. So go along and support…

Many thanks Mark

Spread the love… make James eat pie.

So it’s that time of the year again! We thought rather than just create another pointless Christmas campaign, we would give something back to those who need it most… while trying our damnedest to make James ill.

What’s this all about?
Its simple. Get James to eat 500 mince pies in just 12 days and we will donate £500 to the Make a Wish Foundation.

Why James you ask?
Well, everyone else in the office loves mince pies, so we thought it would be best to put somebody who really HATES mince pies in the hot seat!

Support the cause, feed James a pie, and make a donation via the site, and together we can make James dread Christmas forever more.

How do you get involved?
To feed James pie, simply visit the site and sign up to the cause… I promise it will take just a few minutes of your time… and you get to see the video of him eating YOUR pie.

Lets be honest… our donation is a given… but if you want to be more involved then we have also supplied a link to our page on JustGiving.com where you can happily give what pennies you can afford to spare.

Sorry this post is a little late… Just a thank you and I told you so to a few people who thought I would collapse after the 1km mark!

I want to thank friends, family and colleagues at We Love in supporting me run the 5km race at Hyde Park for the charity Cancer Research. I alone raised a whopping £285. Thanks also to my cousins who ran with me and dragged me along the way! …

A massive well done to the other 16,000 people who ran the race at Hyde Park that day! Looking forward to next year!

Race for life – here I come…

FInally I have signed up to join the Race for Life event and contribute to Cancer Research. Having lost both my father and recently an uncle to cancer, I was determined to do something to help the cause.

The event is taking place at Hyde Park on the 19th of July. I have two weeks and a bit to shape up! This is going to be hard considering I even get out of breath when I walk from the station to the office -(15min walk!) haha this will be fun!

I know times are hard with the credit crunch and all but I’m sure you might have a few pennies to spare.

I have set a target of £100 – every pound you donate really does make a difference - so please sponsor me.

Donations are welcome here….

Thanks, Mel.x

This week We Love helped support Great Ormond Street Hospital, by donating Dripping In Fat t-shirts to a fashion show organised by students of Greenwich University. The designs were modelled by breakdancers who entertained the crowd during the show, before handing out t-shirts to lucky members of the audience!

The event successfully raised some much needed funds for such a great cause and helped spread the Dripping In Fat message of making the world a better dressed place!
