We had loads of fun raising money for Cure Leukaemia in 2018, so much that we're fundraising for them again in 2019!
Here’s some highlights from a year of fundraising that included over 14,000 miles covered, cakes that Mary Berry herself would be proud of, an epic cycle ride from London to Paris and several questionable outfits.
Check out our 2018 fundraising highlights below, and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to follow our fundraising efforts in 2019!
Our Route 66 Challenge
For more on how our Route 66 challenge worked, check out this blog.
The beginning!
What is the Route 66 challenge? This year as a company we’re all tracking our miles covered, adding them together to see where in America or Canada we’ve reached. We’ll have a themed buffet each week based on our destination to raise money for @CureLeukaemia! #Route66CL
