Fullers takes on the 425km sports challenge to ‘walk’ to Paris October 3, 2024 Read time: 2 Min We are in the midst of our biggest challenge yet. Teams of three from across the business are competing to see who can walk, run, cycle or swim 425km first, the distance between London and Paris. The challenge began in August and is set to finish at the end of November, with teams fundraising based on their performance. The goal is to reach £750. So far, across the six teams competing, our staff have walked more than 1800 kilometres, and the fundraising target is in sight. All money raised by the challenge will be donated to Switch The Play, the UK’s only charity dedicated to helping sportspeople move into life outside of sport. There will be a prize for the first team to ‘reach’ Paris, the first team to ‘reach’ the English coast, and a prize for the team who walks the most kilometres. The sports challenge forms part of our wider corporate social responsibility programme of donating to causes aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – by being part of the B1G1 (Buy One, Give One) initiative which is run by Business for Good.
