Cash for kids...
Ian Wallace, Director of James Wallace (Dumfries) Ltd.,
took the long trip from his Jet dealership in Scotland to
the USA to support some needy charities.
Ian said: “In February 2010, at the grand old age of 54,
I took part in my first ever marathon with my son,
Alistair, in Austin, Texas, where he is currently at
university. I am raising money for two charities; firstly,
Cash For Kids, which raises money for local children's
charities. I was sponsored by ConocoPhillips, who
made a donation to Cash for Kids. I also chose to
support Act4Africa, as Alistair will travel to Africa this
summer to assist in a programme educating in schools and
orphanages about HIV/Aids, about how to avoid it and how to
live with it”.
Ian completed the marathon in 4 hours 24 minutes.
Ian Jets 2 it!
Ian Doubtfire, Managing Director of Jet2.com, one of Jet’s
Aviation customers, truly did Jet to his marathon.
He says: “Being an aviation enthusiast, I was always aware of
the excellent work done by the ORBIS team using their DC10
flying around the world. Just imagine being given the gift of
sight just by completing a simple cataract operation –
it must be truly life changing. Can you believe that
there are 45 million people who are blind worldwide,
of which 80 percent suffer needlessly I felt I had to
do something to help this non profit organisation
which is manned by volunteers.
Whilst I am getting on, there is still life in the ‘old
boy’ and my daughter suggested I ran a marathon.
To help persuade me, she suggested the Grand
Cayman Islands – I didn’t think about the heat
when I registered! I conquered the 26 miles, 385
yards and completed a once in a lifetime goal in 5
hours 45 minutes.
Thanks for the sponsorship from ConocoPhillips”.
BAPS 10k challenge - the spirit of service
More than 3,500 people around the country took to the streets and parks on Sunday, 18 April 2010 for the BAPS
Charities 10k Challenge to raise funds for children and other worthy causes. BAPS Charities UK held this year’s
event in conjunction with the UK’s leading children’s charity, Barnardo’s, as well as several smaller charities
around the country. It brought together members of the community from a wide variety of backgrounds and
ages – ranging from three to over 90 – to walk, jog or run a distance of 10 kilometres.
ConocoPhillips was happy to sponsor Retail Customer, Yogesh Chag, joint owner of Craven Park Service Station,
in this challenge. The BAPS Charities 10k Challenge was completed in a total of 15 centres around
the UK, many supporting charities at the local level as well.

Miles along the Nile
Lisa Davis cycled 256 miles along the banks of the River Nile in
November 2009 for the British Heart Foundation in memory of
Antony, her husband and best friend, and also to raise
awareness of the heart disease.
Lisa said: “It was a tremendous experience, both physically and
emotionally. We cycled over five days, the longest day being 78
miles. We passed a couple of filling stations, unfortunately not
Jet ones as I would have had my photo taken there as well.
With the help of sponsorship from ConocoPhillips, I exceeded
my target of raising £9,000.”
on ‘Wall Street’
Helen Needham, Director at Hingley & Callow
Oil Ltd., in Stourport, completed a charity
race at Cheltenham during the Festival in
March 2010. In front of a crowd of
thousands, Helen managed to push her horse, Mister Wall
Street, through the field to finish third.
Helen was fortunate enough to be selected for the race and
had to promise to raise at least £5,000 for Cancer Research to
compete. As Hingley & Callow are a customer of
ConocoPhillips, we were happy to oblige with a donation.
