ID3 Challenge spirits not dampened by appalling weather!
In true British fashion, over 40 brave souls left the GB offices in Chester on Friday 13th July to take part in this year’s ID3 Challenge in aid of the Friendship Clinic in Nepal. Collectively we walked, cycled and canoed over 500 miles in some of North Wales’ wettest countryside, and I am sure if the rain had ceased for even a minute, the scenery would have been stunning!
This year’s ID3 Challenge took the form of an innovative triathlon, with participants competing under the slogan, “Discover the Real You”. At each stage participants earned personal points to contribute to their overall team total and I am pleased to announce that Team 6 – made up of participants from across the GB business – were the winners with a total of 410 points.
This year’s Challenge was in support of a new water project out in Southern Nepal to provide the villagers of the Meghauli region with much needed fresh drinking water. The plans are to dig a deep-bore well enabling the community to access previously untapped water below the bedrock.
Every £20 raised will provide fresh water for 26 people for a year and our goal is to top £10000. The ground surveys and engineering feasibility studies are currently taking place, and we will keep you posted as plans progress.
If you would like to make a donation to the ID3 Challenge in support of the Clinic, simply visit visit our website or email the ID3 Challenge organisers and we’ll confirm all the details.
