Since it started, more than 100 people have taken part in CGHP’s 2.6 Challenge and walked, ran, cycled, and donated over 11,500 miles! On behalf of Evelyn, Sophie, and Kristijan – thank you so much.
“My husband and I work for the NHS. The challenge has be a welcome distraction from COVID-19, so much so that we dusted down our bikes and invested in new trainers!” – CGHP supporter
So let’s keep the momentum, keep moving, and keep raising awareness of health partnerships and global health! The CGHP Team Challenge is now a broader effort to reach our wonderful partners across the globe by accumulating miles and donations.
Funds raised will go toward supporting our health partnerships in responding and recovering from Covid-19. Support includes, and not confined to sourcing locally manufactured PPE, components for alcohol gel production, staff mental health and well being support, and enabling bi-directional sharing and learning. To see how we have supported so far, visit our News section.
