A team representing Briggs Defence is preparing to tackle a new challenge this autumn after registering to take part a 100km charity walk.
Six employees from the specialist division of asset management and engineering services specialist Briggs Equipment will be putting their best feet forward and pushing themselves to the limit when they embark on the Thames Path Challenge on September 9-10.
As part of Briggs Defence’s support for the military community, the team is raising money for SSAFA, the Armed Forces Charity that supports around 60,000 servicemen and women, veterans and their families each year.
Heading upstream from Putney Bridge past Hampton Court to the half way point at Runnymede and then on to Henley, the intrepid six will walk both day and night in a bid tocomplete the Challenge in 24 hours. Every Thames Path Challenge entrant commits to raising at least £395 for charity. Briggs Defence’s employees have been busy organising sponsored activities and other events and are well on their way to achieving this target.
Steve Munson, Briggs Defence’s Head of Finance and team captain, said:”The Thames Path Challenge will certainly be a test of how fit we are and our determination to get to the end, but we know it will be a huge sense of achievement when we cross the finish line and, of course, we’re committed to raising as much money as we can to support SSAFA’s important work.”
More than 3,000 people are expected to take on the 2017 Thames Path Challenge. The majority will be walking, some will jog and others will run, but all are prepared to push themselves to the limit to raise money for a host of worthy causes.
