Adam Chataway of
Kilburn, London has reached the final of 'Britain's Most Inspiring Fundraiser', a national award being held in memory of renowned fundraiser Jane Tomlinson.
The competition,
run by online giving platform Everyclick.com, hopes to recognise the exceptional volunteer fundraising efforts of people in every community by sharing their incredible stories.
Adam and
his Vicky's Water Project team raised more than £519,000 for ActionAid and has made it to the final ten. He is now one step closer to being crowned Britain's Most Inspiring Fundraiser.
The winner will be announced on 11 June, and will receive £20,000 for their chosen charity.
Polly Gowers, founder of Everyclick.com said: "After much deliberation by
the judges, we are thrilled to announce our ten finalists. It was an incredibly difficult task to whittle down the 550 outstanding nominees to just ten, but we feel the finalists best exemplify the
drive, determination, energy and commitment to fundraising that this competition set about to highlight."
Details of all the finalists are available at www.everyclick.com, and the winner will be announced at a celebratory event on 11 June 2008.
