I am delighted to report that we are supporting Gym for Heroes, as our charity of the year for the second year running.
This year’s challenge takes place between 9th to 22nd of July and involves either a 3 hour or 12 hour endurance challenge across 3 pieces of CV equipment or a swimming pool. Whilst having a great workout, individually or in groups of 3-4, at any gym or military facility, the challenge is the perfect way to support our heroes by reminding us of the physical and mental upheaval they endure.
So what does this mean to you and your members?
We, as an industry are showing our commitment by raising funds whilst also meeting our objectives of getting more people moving.
Last year’s challenge was a massive success, attracting 1000 participants and raising £100k in support of Help for Heroes. With your help I know we can make this year’s challenge even stronger. There are gym packs available to all (including, t-shirts, medal, balloons, posters, wrist bands and other collaterals), so promotional cost wouldn’t be a problem. All you have to do is take part!
To register your organisation, visit www.gymforheroes.co.uk. Packs will be delivered in April.
I’m off to get training….
Dave Stalker, Executive Director, FIA
Yes it will a great experience to go through what our heroes go through everyday to keep our nation protected.
