Story

On Friday  21st April, the Square Mile team will be undertaking what we are affectionately referring to as our charity challenge in honour of our two charity partners, Starlight and charity:water and the incredible and life changing work that they undertake – more info on them below.

In fact, our challenge has in part been inspired by something shared with us by charity:water - the fact that women and girls in Africa alone have to walk 40 billion hours a year for water, an amenity we see as a certainty and accessible in a second.

To that end, we have decided to walk and run a marathon in a day in and around the glorious streets of London, with the aim of raising as much money as possible for our partners.

Ideally, we would like to raise equal amounts for both charities but, due to the technicalities of JustGiving, you will have to select which one you would like to donate to.

Any contribution you can give would mean the world to us and to them and we thank you for your support.

 Wish us luck and if you see us coming, be sure to wave!

Starlight Charity  Using the power of play to make the experience of illness and treatment better for seriously ill children and their families. This includes hospital services to support front line staff, events and experiences for children and their families, and the Starlight Pantomimes.
