Thank you for visiting our Just Giving Page.  To help us make our way to beating the £100,000 target a group of Hamptons International employees have taken up the challenge to complete the Human Race Open Water Swim from Hampton Court to Kingston Bridge on 21 July – this is a distance of 2.25 miles (3,650m).

 As if this wasn’t a challenge in itself, we’ve decided to make it a little more competitive by asking each person who donates to us to place a bet on which Hamptons International team member they think will complete the swim in the fastest time.  Anyone who chooses correctly will then be entered into a raffle to win a prize.

 Please keep reading to find instruction on how to be entered into the draw.

            

To be eligible to be entered into the prize draw we are asking everyone to place a minimum donation of £5. If you donate more then you can increase your chances in the raffle since every £5 you give will mean another possible winning ticket! When you make your donation please write the name of the team member/s you wish to bet on so we know who you are backing.

 

 Attention:  for us to be able to enter you into the raffle, please follow these stages below

 

1. After you have completed your donation you will receive a confirmation email

2. Please forward the confirmation email along with who you wish to bet on to kingston@hamptons-int.com

 

Your contact details will be kept strictly confidential.

If you have any questions please email us at kingston@hamptons-int.com
