PAREXEL's City Challenge 2007
Fundraising for Blood Cancer UK
Story
They think it's all over...
...but it isn't quite.
For the third year running PAREXEL entered a team into the Challenger World City Challenge, which took place on April 21st in Milton Keynes.
The competition was much tougher this year, but we're proud to say that we finished in 8th place which, whilst not beating our 7th place of last year, was still better than Alistair Campbell's Leukaemia Research team. In an event that relies heavily on team work and strategy, it is particularly satisfying to beat the man responsible for the British government's strategy for so many years.
The results, photos, and descriptions of each stage can be found here
We would like to say a big, huge, massive, thank you to everyone that sponsored us. We really appreciate your generosity and we hope you're as happy with our 8th place finish as we are.
If you've not sponsored us yet, there's still time for you to donate money to the official charity - Leukaemia Research. Over £50,000 has already been raised by the 54 teams taking part this year, but it would be great if we could add a little more to that total.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Leukaemia Research Fund will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please, please sponsor us now!
Many thanks for your support.
Simon, Pete, Jenni and Karl.
