Hi all, thanks for stopping by.....
Davies Group holds various charity events to raise money for the Davies foundation, one of these is an annual trek in the peak district.
The timing of the trek this year fell in the same month as other events we (Tim and Suz) had spoke about doing.
Due to this we thought we'd stupidly go the whole hog, fit in one more challenge and look to complete them all as one big challenge over 4 weekends. Tim is already regretting this before even starting!!!
We've had a couple of false starts on this due to Tim having Covid (again) and the trek getting postponed due to the passing of Her Majesty and as such revised dates below but it still works out 4 consecutive weeks!!
So, starting the 19th September we will be completing 4 challenges in a bid to raise as much money as we can for the Davies Foundation. The challenges we're undertaking are as follows:
Challenge 1 -Mon 19th September
Between the two of us (In the gym) we're going to cycle the equivalent distance between the Stoke Davies office and the Preston Davies Office 68.3 miles (34.15 Miles each).
Challenge 2 - Sun 25th September
Stafford 10km Run, after completing this in 2019 both wanted to do it again, Suz is a seasoned runner and eats 10km for breakfast but Tim is already massively regretting this and whilst wanting to beat his 2019 time is hoping to just finish in one piece with his "old man" knees. #PrayForTim
Challenge 3 - Sat 1st October
5km Inflatable Obstacle course - Expecting this to be tougher than it looks and given it's Oct at this point, probably wet and muddy too.
Challenge 4 - Sat 8th October
The Annual Davies Trek, a gruelling 5-7 hour trek in the Peak District starting and finishing at Bamford taking in the glorious and hilly peaks and the Ladybower Reservoir
So, there we have it... 4 weekends of "fun" stupidly agreed too, where on every event Tim will do his best to keep up with Suz but it's all in the name of raising money for the foundation. We'll be keeping everyone updated via this page and social media and look forward to hopefully having your support.
There is a bit about the foundation below and we know times are tough at present but the work the foundation does in local communities, local to our office locations makes a real difference to those in need.
The Davies Foundation is a registered charity, through which we do good and give back to the local communities where our people live & work.
Since we launched, our people have taken part in fundraising events, and every penny has been matched by Davies – bringing our total fundraising efforts to over £100,000.
The charity has received more than 250 funding applications and has now supported over 160 different charitable causes.
