What better way to kick off a new financial year than with an adventure that tests your limits and unites the team? That’s exactly what we did on Friday 4th October, as our team laced up their walking boots and took on an epic 20-mile trek along the beautiful North Norfolk coastline. It was a day that challenged us physically, strengthened our bonds, and most importantly, supported a cause close to our hearts—raising funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
After a week of grey skies, luck was on our side as the sun decided to make its grand appearance. Spirits were high as we set off, taking in the sea breeze and the rolling dunes of Hunstanton Beach. Halfway through the trek, we couldn’t resist a quick refuel at a cozy local pub. Drinks in hand and smiles all around, it was the perfect pit stop to recharge our batteries before tackling the second half of the hike.
Of course, this wasn’t just a casual stroll. By mile 15, fatigue started setting in. Blisters began making their presence known, our legs grew heavy, and conversations turned into quiet nods of encouragement. Every word of motivation reminded us why we were doing this. The trek wasn’t just an exercise in endurance; it was driven by a purpose that kept us going even when the going got tough. Partnering with Great Ormond Street Hospital, we aimed to raise funds to support the incredible work they do for children and their families. Knowing that each step we took was contributing to something bigger kept us focused.
A massive well done to everyone who walked, donated, or cheered us on from afar. Some of us might still be nursing blisters weeks later, but this was a team-building exercise in every sense of the word, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we achieved together for such a worthy cause.
