Stepping Up for MNDA: Redmore Takes on the Stepathon
Our fundraising efforts for our Charity of the Year, the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA), are officially underway following the completion of our first team fundraising challenge, the Redmore Stepathon.
Taking place over five days, the challenge brought colleagues across Redmore together with one ambitious goal: to collectively complete 1.1 million steps, while raising funds and awareness for MNDA.
The target represented the equivalent of travelling from Manchester to Bristol and then onwards to Paris, giving the team plenty of ground to cover over the course of the week.
Every Step Counts
From lunchtime walks and evening strolls to gym sessions and longer routes home, colleagues found plenty of ways to increase their daily totals and contribute towards the challenge.
As the week progressed and the numbers started coming in, there was also some healthy competition between the team, providing even more motivation to get moving.
By the end of the challenge, our team had collectively completed an impressive 1,201,354 steps, reaching 109% of our 1.1 million-step target.
Alongside clocking up the steps, we sought sponsorship from friends, family and their wider networks, helping us raise £270 in support of MNDA.
A huge thank you goes to everyone who took part, donated and supported the team throughout the challenge. Every step and every donation contributed towards making our first fundraising event a success.
Supporting MNDA
The Motor Neurone Disease Association provides support to people living with and affected by MND, alongside funding research and campaigning to improve care and access to support.
As Redmore’s Charity of the Year, MNDA will be at the heart of our charitable activities over the coming year, with the Stepathon marking the first of a number of fundraising and awareness initiatives planned across the business.
It was fantastic to see colleagues getting behind our first challenge and working towards a shared goal, while supporting an organisation carrying out such important work.
The Stepathon might be over, but our Charity of the Year journey is only just beginning. We look forward to sharing more of our fundraising activities, events and progress over the months ahead.
