Exciting times ! After the
success of the walkathon led by our Retain and Advance Women Network in March this year, the D&I
Committee and the Sports Committee are running a joined-up D&I walkathon
challenge !
The challenge starts Monday 22
November for a three week period and participants will be allocated to
competing teams. All teams will challenge each other on total distance that
they manage to cover during the challenge and there is also a fundraising
element to the Walkathon. Each team will be fundraising for a specific charity,
and the teams will battle it out on the amount that they raise for their
respective charity.
The D&I Walkathon will be a great way to clock up those steps, meet
some new colleagues, enjoy the fine Hong Kong winter air on some super hikes,
all while raising money for charity – so we hope to get your support! We at Team 1 are fundraising for Refugee Union, a non-profit in Hong Kong that aims to safeguard refugee rights and improve the protection, wellbeing, and future prospect of all refugees.
