Fisher German to take on 2,400-mile fundraising relay
Professionals from Fisher German, which has an office on Llantarnam Business Park, Cwmbran, will be taking part in the challenge to raise money for a hospice that cares for children with life-limiting conditions in Wales.
The company is marking its 25th anniversary with its 'Big25' charity challenge, which will see colleagues tour its 25 offices across the country, without any form of motorised transport.
As part of this challenge, the team at its Cwmbran office will be travelling to the firm's Chester office to raise money for Ty Hafan Children's Hospice, which provides holistic palliative care for children with life-limiting conditions and their families across Wales.
Fisher German created the Big 25 challenge to raise at least £25,000 for Ty Hafan Children's Hospice and 24 others across the country, and will see its colleagues cycle, dog-walk, and even space-hop their way between its offices as part of a giant relay.
The firm will match-fund any donations up to £25,000 from supporters, meaning a total of £50,000 could be split between the charities.
The challenge begins on Friday, May 9, with the team making their way from its London office along the Grand Union Canal via methods including cycling, running and walking all the way to its Birmingham office over the course of a week.
Future legs include riding on horseback, sailing, together with great walking, swimming, cycling and running endeavours, before the journey ends back in London on Thursday, October 30.
Andrew Bridge, managing partner at Fisher German, said: "We became Fisher German in September 2000, following the merger of Fisher Hoggarth and John German.
"Our roots, however, stretch back to pre-1830.
"The firm has grown considerably, and we now employ more than 800 people and assist clients all over the country.
"That's why we've launched the Big 25 challenge to give back to those charities who do so much in the communities we work in."
