30 Miles in September

12th October 2023/ Blog

Our team walked 30 miles in September to raise money for Cancer Research & Dementia UK.

Cancer Research and Dementia UK are both excellent charities dedicated to supporting families, so no one has to face these terrible diseases alone. 

Here’s how they got on…

Angela Phillips

How did you find the challenge?

It was really good, I love walking and to have a purpose helps.

Why did you take part? 

Cancer Research UK is a great charity saving lives through research, so doing an extra mile a day to raise support is so worth it.

What did you take away from doing it?

I’ll do more challenges but I’m not ready for a marathon yet!

Is there anything you would like to add?

Thanks to my colleagues for their support and for being inspired to take part alongside me!

Angela raised £315 + Gift aid for Cancer Research UK.

How did you find the challenge?

I used to walk regularly; however, life events took this away from me, now in a more pleasant landscape I was able to rediscover the joy of walking.

Why did you take part? 

Cancer has affected so many lives of colleagues, family and friends, I was able to draw on the emotion and turn it into action.

What did you take away from doing it?

I will be enjoying a lot more hiking cross country going forward, I would like to raise money for a wellness charity sometime soon, for example ‘Tackling Minds’ a charity that encourages people to take up fishing to help with mental health.

Is there anything you would like to add?

I’m grateful for the kind donations Europa has made to this cause and others throughout the year!

How did you find the challenge?

I really enjoyed it! I normally walk a couple times a week but really enjoyed the challenge to remain consistent in honour of a great cause!

Why did you take part? 

I wanted to raise money for a charity close to my heart but enjoyed taking it at my own pace. 

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family, working towards a day where no one has to face dementia alone.

What did you take away from doing it?

I enjoyed the consistency of the challenge, it was rewarding to raise money for a great cause while also knowing it was improving my own fitness. I will definitely be joining in more challenges in the future!

Is there anything you would like to add?

I would like to thank Europa and everyone else who donated for the support. If you’re thinking about doing a challenge like this for charity, just do it!

Nicola raised £385 + Gift aid for Dementia UK.
