A inspiring new fundraising challenge for 2025 in support of Greenfingers Charity. Building on my ambitious commitment to run every day throughout 2024, we have been challenged the gardening and horticultural industry to join forces to complete a 650-mile journey.

As president of the GIMA Council our council members have come together to tackle the challenge as a team, with the freedom to run, cycle, swim, or walk to clock up the miles. Each Council member has committed a certain exercise they will complete each week for 6 months in total clocking up 2000 miles! One thing is certain - this challenge promises to be an unforgettable collective effort for an exceptional cause.

This route symbolically connects the Greenfingers HQ in Buckinghamshire to Coombe Abbey in Coventry – the venue for the charity’s 25th Anniversary Floral Ball – while “virtually” passing through four of the hospices that will benefit from Greenfingers gardens next year. The 650-mile distance thoughtfully incorporates virtual stops at Acorns Children’s Hospice, Walsall, Hope House in Oswestry, Bluebell Wood in Sheffield, and Chestnut Tree House in Arundel, celebrating the incredible impact of Greenfingers gardens on these hospices. Participants can tackle the challenge individually or as part of a team, with the freedom to run, cycle,
