Professionals from the Worcester office of a leading property consultancy will be embarking on an epic fundraising relay to raise money for a children’s hospice with a shop in the city.
Fisher German, which has an office at Global House, is marking its 25th anniversary with its ‘Big25’ charity challenge which will see colleagues tour its 25 offices across the country in a 2,400-mile journey – without any form of motorised transport.
As part of this challenge, the team at the Worcester office will be heading to its Thame office to raise money for Acorn’s Children’s Hospice, which supports hundreds of babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions access specialist care.
Fisher German created the Big 25 challenge to raise at least £25,000 between Acorn’s and 24 others across the country, and will see its colleagues cycle, dog-walk, and even space-hop their way between its offices as part of a giant relay.
The firm has also pledged to match-fund any donations up to £25,000 from supporters, meaning a total of £50,000 could be split between the charities.
The challenge begins on Friday, May 9, with its team journeying from its London office in the City along the Grand Union Canal via methods including cycling, running and walking all the way to its Birmingham office over the course of a week.
Future legs include riding on horseback, sailing, together with great walking, swimming, cycling and running endeavours, before the journey ends back in London on Thursday, October 30.
