Massive thank you to the team at Decathlon!
We couldn’t let the dust settle on Paris to Banbridge without giving a massive shoutout to the team at Decathlon!
From training bikes and road bikes to kit to keep Pete, Paulo and Rebecca going, Decathlon helped get our Cool FM Breakfast team ready to take on 800 miles across four countries, all in aid of Cash for Kids NI!
And with over £200,000 raised for children across Northern Ireland, we’re so grateful to have had them on board for such an incredible challenge🙌
Thank you, Decathlon, for helping make it happen! ❤️

Before the madness of Mission Christmas begins… 🎄❤️
At the start of October, we took a moment to get together with our Cash for Kids colleagues for our annual conference!
We were so proud to see our Northern Ireland team recognised with awards for Mission: Possible and Unstoppable Force... celebrating the impact of everything we achieved together last year🙌
Every achievement represents the difference we’re making to the lives of children and young people across Northern Ireland, and we couldn’t be prouder of what our team has accomplished.
Here’s to another year of making a difference!

What’s the one Christmas present you’ve never forgotten? 🎁

For Pete, our Gala Ball co-host, it was his first bike. Watch him take a trip down memory lane in the next episode of our Christmas Nostalgia series.

Moments like that are what Christmas is all about, and they’re exactly what we’re raising money for. On Friday 20th November, join Pete at Titanic Belfast for the Mission Christmas Gala Ball and help make sure no child in Northern Ireland wakes up without a gift on Christmas morning.
