You will all be aware of the importance of hydration in your training to get you through the challenge.
Imagine if you would have to walk 8 hours to collect your daily supply, would you be able to compete?
If every team raised a minimum of €2,500 (that's only €500 per team member!) you would generate enough money to help WaterAid reach 10,000 people with our vital services. The more you raise the more people we can reach!
Colin Harley, Director of Regulation and Competition at Southern Water, took part in 2009:
"This was a great event, which not only raised money for WaterAid, with the Southern Water team raising nearly £9,000 through sponsorship and donations, but was also a great learning experience in terms of team working.
"We will be looking to apply the lessons learnt from the event, back in the workplace and to other future charity challenges."
As an integrated part of the Cisco Euro Challenge your organisation can use fundraising to further build on key business skills as well as earn your team some vital rewards to get you ahead in the challenge. These clues and rewards will be announced soon.
