The Barbican Charity Group are delighted to announce the
2015 Barbican staff charity initiative: ‘Eighty Days Around the World’ to raise
awareness for three charities including Keratoconus. The challenge is to see
whether Barbican staff members and contractors can collectively walk, cycle,
run, swim, sail etc the equivalent circumference of the earth (40,000km) in 80
days.
We will be organising a number of group events (starting
with the Crisis run on 11th June and ending on 30th
August). I will be updating my blog as we do these group events.
As well as participating in group events, individuals have
also set themselves targets during the 80 day period to help complete this
challenge.
We will be recording the mileage through a Strava Barbican
Group account, Barbican pedometers and self-assessment if Strava or pedometers
are impractical.
I have set myself the challenge to ice skate and cycle 200k within the
80 days!
