Two teams of 5 Franklin Templeton employees based in the London and Edinburgh offices are taking part in the Spin for Smart Work's Challenge 2019 in connection with International Women's Day.

Each team will be cycling a minimum of 500 miles in the space of one week. Some might think nothing of this and it will certainly be easier for some than others, but I for one cannot ride a bike...

So please give generously as it is for a great cause helping women across the UK succeed at interview, get the job and transform their lives. Take a look at their website for more details - https://smartworks.org.uk/

The London team - Eloise Huggins, Claudia Cavallo, Emily Bedford, Charukie Dharmaratne & Emma Payne

The Edinburgh team - Jennifer Willetts, Stewart McKenzie, Martin Shaw, Aaron Kirby & James McLaren
