Right Casino Media Sponsor Local Fundraiser to Support Help for Heroes Charity

Right Casino Media make donation to help support soldiers wounded in recent conflicts.

2012-05-17

ESSEX, ENGLAND, May 17, 2012 (Press-News.org) Leading online gaming portal operator Right Casino Media have teamed up with fundraiser Hayley Fuller to help raise awareness and funds for the Help for Heroes charity, which supports soldiers wounded in current conflicts. Right Casino Media, who operate a network of industry leading websites including http://www.liveroulette.co.uk, have given GBP500 in much-needed sponsorship to Hayley, as she takes part in a 7-day fundraising bike trek through France this month.

Established in 2007, the Help for Heroes charity raises money to help provide direct, practical support to those wounded, sick or injured in the line of duty since 9/11. Their 2012 Big Battlefield Bike Ride sets off from HMS Victory in Portsmouth on 20th May 2012, ending at Dunkirk one week later on 27th May.

The 375-mile bike ride will see participants, including servicemen and women who have been wounded, sick or injured in current conflicts, tour the historic WW1 and WW2 battle sites of the Somme en route. It is a physically gruelling challenge, which many of the participants have been training for, with hopes of highlighting the needs, as well as the valiant efforts, of those who have served their country in combat.

Hayley Fuller, 21, from Hornchurch in Essex, has been training for the Big Battlefield Bike Ride event since February. Having collected GBP970 towards her fundraising target of GBP2,300, she is still seeking donations. Hayley plans to keep all of her sponsors updated with her progress with the BBBR team via Facebook over the course of their bike trek.

Hayley explained:

"I'd like to say a special thanks to Right Casino Media for their very generous donation. I've got a big fundraising target to hit so I'd really appreciate anything you can spare. All money raised will be donated to Help for Heroes, a fantastic charity... and if you are a UK taxpayer and give Gift Aid consent you will boost your donation."

RCM Managing Director Michael Charalambous added:

"We are delighted to be able to help Hayley in her cycling challenge, and especially proud to support the Help for Heroes charity. Having already completed a Rehabilitation Complex and treatment centre for those suffering from combat stress, we feel their work is so important, and would encourage others to give generously to this worthy cause. As a company, we feel it's important to donate where we can, and if we can help to raise awareness of Help for Heroes, and the needs and efforts of the heroes that they support, that's all the better."

Can consumers 'fit in' yet remain unique?

2012-05-17

Most consumers want to fit in while still asserting their individuality—and they balance these conflicting desires when choosing products, according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research. "Consumers want both to signal their identity with desired groups and to be different from other group members. This research shows how people simultaneously satisfy these apparently conflicting motives in consumer behavior," write authors Cindy Chan, Jonah Berger (both University of Pennsylvania), and Leaf Van Boven (University of Colorado, Boulder). "Is it possible to ...

When does planning interfere with achieving our goals?

2012-05-17

It seems really simple: If you want to achieve something, set a goal and then make specific plans to implement it. But according to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, consumers get overwhelmed while juggling multiple goals. "Research has shown that forming specific plans for a single goal makes success more likely," write authors Amy Dalton (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) and Stephen Spiller (UCLA). "Most of us, however, are juggling multiple goals in our lives and jobs and managing a busy schedule is difficult. This raises the question ...
