At the start of October, our Arup team called ET Phone Home, made up of Ed, Stephen, Riccardo and Sam will head to the Lake District to compete in the Dig Deeper 2024, the construction industry adventure race. The race is made up of 40 teams from UK construction companies, with only one winner. The adventure race will see us battle the elements in 4 hours of fell running, mountain biking and a special section (which could be anything from kayaking to climbing a waterfall). Collecting as many points as possible through skill, stamina, navigation and careful planning the night before over a drink or two.

The Dig Deeper Construction race (https://www.digdeeperrace.com/) is in support of two amazing charities, Anthony Nolan and 353.

"353 was set in memory of my nephew Conrad Lewis who was killed in Afghanistan. We try to help bereaved families to those who came back with life changing injuries from the conflict in Afghanistan; providing long term support to a variety of charities and to make as big a difference as possible. It is about spirit and having the courage to change what you can. Get busy living. "Paul Lewis, 353.org.uk.

The Dig Deeper race is also in support of Anthony Nolan

"Each day Anthony Nolan gives the chance of life to three people with blood cancer by facilitating a transplant for them. Sadly though, we still can’t help everyone who needs us. The maths is simple: the more money we raise, the more lives we can save - which is why your support is so vital." Henny Braund, Chief Executive, anthonynolan.org

Every donation is incredibly appreciated, from the pennies to the pounds, and we thank you for taking time to dig deep into your pockets to donate. Thank you for your support!

Ed, Stephen, Riccardo and Sam
