More than 190 property professionals took part in Fiera Real Estate’s Ekiden Covid-19 Fundraiser on 22-23 April, raising more than £20,000 for Duty To Care, a charity that provides virtual therapy sessions to NHS workers in need of support.
The challenge saw teams of 10 compete in the walking, running and cycling challenge to travel the furthest distance and raise the most amount of money. Participants clocked up more than 3,000km over the weekend.
The money that has been raised will enable Duty To Care to help 500 NHS workers receive vital support to improve and sustain their mental health and wellbeing.
EG’s All Stars team took part in the event and raised more than £700.
