STOP PRESS! Update! 

WE ALL DID IT!!! Our legs are sore but we are very happy and pleased. And tired. 

The results are in and read: 7'57''; 8'21''; 8'55''; 11'43''; 11'53''.

By the way, we are thrilled for having outdone our fundraising target! And for every new sponsor who helps us pushing that amount even higher! 

THANK YOU SO MUCH  for your generous support!

Team CEBS

Hello!

With the CEBS offices located in Tower 42, we felt that the Secretariat had no choice but to participate in the VERTICAL RUSH. Here's what it is about:

- Race date: Thurs 25 February 2010

- Distance: Tower running 42 floors (actually 50)

- Location: Tower 42, the City of London

- Sponsorship required: Teams of five £750 

While not necessarily 'in it to win it', the intrepid volunteers nevertheless felt they can make a welcome contribution by providing colleagues, friends and family the possibility to collect some funds for SHELTER. It'll be worth the effort of climbing those 920 stairs to the top.  

We do hope you value this and give generously for this great cause. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. While the £750 target is the amount we committed to we'd be thrilled if we could beat that and GO MUCH HIGHER!
