Colleagues across the business are taking part in a virtual charity event which will see them logging miles whilst fundraising for Maggie’s.
The partnership works in two ways: the building of Maggie's centres and fundraising to help Maggie's support people with cancer and their loved ones. So far, Sir Robert McAlpine has built nine Maggie's Centres and are aiming to raise £1m for Maggie's with an amazing circa £700k raised so far.
Over recent months, Covid-19 has prevented us from fundraising for Maggie's together in person and we're determined 2021 is going to be different.
So, we're going virtual to bring everyone together and instil a bit of rivalry. We’re hoping Miles for Maggie’s will be the perfect energizer to help boost mental health and wellbeing whilst giving something back at the same time. Our challenge gets underway on the 29th March until the 29th April.
We’re encouraging our people across the UK to team up with some colleagues and walk, run and/or cycle the equivalent of the 437 miles between Maggie's Edinburgh and Maggie's at the Royal Marsden in London.
That's just under three miles a day for a month per team member in a team of five!
The money you raise is used to make the biggest possible difference to the people living with cancer, who need support now more than ever. Maggie’s teams of specialists support people by phone, video call and online. Find out more about Maggie’s here >>
Thank you in advance of your continued support and best of luck to all those taking part.
Earlier this summer, colleagues from across the UK took part in a challenge they would never forget. A two-day 45 mile trek from Spean Bridge to Loch Tulla across the challenging terrain of Rannoch Moor.
We are so proud of our cycling heroes who last month completed their ‘Heart to Home’ charity cycle ride for Maggie’s.
Congratulations to our Business Analyst Jon Low and Healthcare Framework Manager Phil Turley who completed the Virtual London Marathon recently.
Today saw the opening of Maggie’s Barts in London, the latest centre we have constructed for the cancer support charity.
