James Gerrish

I’m heading back to the Flinders Ranges for a great cause – please support my fund-raising efforts.

I’m writing to you today asking for a contribution to a wonderful cause. My team and I manage the investment portfolio of the Apex Foundation, and we support the foundation in several ways.

First and foremost by generating strong investment returns which underpin the foundations’ ability to distribute to the many worthwhile Apex trusts around the country, trusts that support practical and worthwhile initiatives ranging from assisting disadvantaged children to important Melanoma Research, and plenty in between. We host the Apex AGM each year and I often attend APEX board meetings.

Each year we also participate in fund raising activities and this year I’m heading back to the Flinders ranges on a Honda CT110 postie bike to tackle some of the toughest & most challenging off road terrain Australia has to offer. From 8th-11th September, along with 80+ other riders we’ll travel 1,000 km in 4 days to raise funds for the Apex Copper Coast Retreats, which is the latest addition to the Apex Underprivileged Children’s Trust.

I have a couple of great clients along for the ride, and I hope (connection permitting) to be able to provide regular video updates along the ride, offering an insight into the great work that the Apex Foundation has been doing for over 75 years, and the characters behind it.

We’re aiming to raise $20,000 with the support of some wonderful clients, friends, subscribers to www.marketmatters.com.au and the Shaw & Partners Foundation which has donated over $8m since 2015.

So, as they say in the ads, please give generously, the link is below and as we approach departure I’ll keep you all updated on our preparations, and of course our fund raising efforts. Live Life. Have Fun. Give Back.

Many thanks in anticipation of your support
James.
