As the working week ended on a recent Friday, a dedicated team from Consult Group swapped their desks for walking boots to take on a significant challenge for an amazing cause. Despite pouring rain, our team members completed a 10-mile walk, raising over £1,200 for the charity Genies Wish. This effort perfectly captures the spirit of community and determination that we value so highly.
The walk was a true test of resolve. Starting at 4:30 PM after a full day's work, the team pushed through the challenging weather, finishing the route at 7:45 PM. We are incredibly proud of their commitment and want to extend a special thanks to Dee Pitcher, Paul Gill, and Danielle Oliviere for their fantastic fundraising and physical efforts.
Walking Through the Rain for a Worthy Cause
The event, the Thames Moonlight 10, was not just a walk; it was a statement of support for Genies Wish, a charity dedicated to making a profound difference in the lives of people facing immense challenges. The team’s decision to take on this challenge, especially in such adverse conditions, speaks volumes about their dedication.
Walking ten miles on a rainy evening is no small feat. It requires physical endurance and, more importantly, mental fortitude. This display of teamwork and resilience for a cause greater than themselves is an inspiration. The money raised will go directly to helping Genies Wish fulfil its mission, providing moments of joy and relief to those who need it most.
Who is Genies Wish?
Genies Wish is a remarkable charity that works to grant wishes for children and adults who are suffering from a critical or terminal illness. Their work provides a beacon of light during the darkest of times, creating precious memories for individuals and their families.
The charity was founded on the belief that a special experience can provide a much-needed escape from the realities of illness and treatment. Wishes can range from meeting a hero to experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime trip. The impact of these moments is immeasurable, offering hope, strength, and joy when it is most needed. By supporting Genies Wish, our team has helped to fund these invaluable experiences, directly contributing to the happiness and well-being of deserving individuals.
The Power of Giving Back
At Consult Group, we believe that our responsibility extends into the communities where we live and work. Fostering a culture of social responsibility is a core part of our identity. Events like this charity walk are a powerful expression of that commitment. They provide an opportunity for our team to come together, strengthen their bonds, and make a tangible, positive impact on the lives of others.
We are immensely proud of Dee, Paul, and Danielle for leading this initiative. Their dedication not only resulted in a significant donation but also raised awareness for the incredible work that Genies Wish does every day. They have truly earned a celebratory pint! This effort highlights the character and generosity of the people who make up our organisation.
