Compass Group sports and entertainment hospitality business Levy UK has launched the 1,000-Mile Relay fundraising initiative in support of long-term charity partner, ParalympicsGB.
With the ambitious goal of raising over £50,000, Levy aims to make a significant impact in supporting the incredible athletes in the lead up to the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
Company teams from across the UK will be embarking on a remarkable 1,000-mile relay across 50 Levy-catered partner venues spanning Scotland, England and Wales.
The “1,000-Mile Relay” initiative will take five weeks and see employees – running, walking, or cycling – passing a baton to the waiting team signaling the next leg of the journey.
Almost 350 Levy employees are taking part.
The first leg kicks off with a 58-mile cycle ride from Edinburgh International Conference Centre to Glasgow Rangers Ibrox Football Stadium.
Gold medal winning Paralympic champion, Aaron Phipps, who also works as an ambassador for Levy as part of its ongoing commitment as an inclusive employer, will be the Starter, as well as taking part in some of the London stages.
The relay concludes at Swansea City Football Club on Monday 13th May.
