MileOne Autogroup’s Post

What gets measured, gets done... My mum always teased that I counted everything (I even measured the height of my stacked textbooks after studies, not even mentioning the number of used pens, writing pads or hours in front of said books... vs target of course). Little did I know this habit would stick (#JamesClear and many others in the same discipline speak to my soul). Believing in hard work above all; consistency, marginal gains and tracking, I'm exceptionally proud being part of the #AutoProtectGroup #UKChallenge 2024 team. Help our team support #ActionForChildren doing amazing work to protect and support children and young people (765,905 to be exact last year; as we're counting). At 174.4km running and 780km cycling clocked to date (not that we're counting); almost sufficiently prepared for this amazing initiative in just two weeks' time. Stick with habits that stick.

Celebrating one year with the Ride For Freedom team! Over the past year, this small but mighty team has made a profound impact on the mission to combat modern slavery. I've had the honor of being part of this journey, helping to convey our message across social media and working behind the scenes on all our programmes and fundraising events. One initiative particularly close to my heart is the Schools Programme, which I've nurtured from its inception. It's designed to empower our little ones with knowledge through the joy of cycling while inspiring a lifelong passion. With the dedication of our team, it has grown into a resounding success. My greatest learning curve has been delving into people's perspectives and values, their end goals, and their awareness of modern slavery. Do consumers prioritize ethical production, or is a bargain the sole concern? Does a pristine car matter more than the well-being of the person cleaning it? Unfortunately, some fail to see the struggles faced by People in their own communities. The "hidden in plain sight" narrative is truly a scary concept. I've had the privilege of witnessing remarkable acts of generosity and unwavering dedication to Ride For Freedom. Whether it's the gift of time, financial contributions, pedaling for our cause, or passionately advocating for our mission, it's a poignant reminder of the incredible goodness that thrives in our world. I've absorbed a wealth of knowledge from teachers, charities, my team, our partners I have worked with, and will continue raising awareness about modern slavery and supporting our Freewheel Programme. It's a challenging subject, but I embrace the opportunity to bring it to your attention and encourage self-education and advocacy. This year has brought personal and professional challenges, leading to a future plan to put in place. It really has made me evaluate and maybe say yes more to the opportunities in life that scare me. I'm excited about upcoming plans. You may even see me set my own cycling challenge but in the meantime the Cycle Revolution is happening this December and I would love it if you could be a part of it - https://lnkd.in/ezGRdpZq #educationandawareness #rideforfreedom #endmodernslavery #cyclerevolution #sayyes
