A team challenge – Rob’s fundraising story
Posted 2 years ago in the Challenges, Volunteers and fundraisers categories
Rob is an employee of Canine Partners in our Aftercare Team and he also works at Boots as part of the Pharmacy Deployment Team. Read his fundraising story.
His team at Boots have always had great success in raising money for charity and when it came to Rob’s turn to nominate a charity, naturally, he chose to support Canine Partners. He inspired his colleagues Aileen, Muriel, Jen, Jilly, Emma, Lauren, Ryan, Graham and Cheryl to take on a month long challenge to raise vital funds to support our work.
Inspiring the team
“I have worked for the charity for many years and I have seen the impact our amazing dogs make to our partners in Scotland, I wanted to share that with my team at Boots and they were keen to support.”
Three million steps
The team set a challenge, collectively, to walk three million steps over a period of one month. This equates to walking the whole of the length of the British Isles and beyond! Having had a lot of fun getting their families involved, including their much-loved four-legged friends, the whole team remarked how much better they felt after completing the challenge. Having increased their daily steps they felt better, both physically and mentally. And they raised a brilliant £290, which Boots kindly match-funded.
