Acumen staff are taking part in a companywide challenge in April which aims to see employees become more active. The company has sponsored 35 spaces in this month’s Race at Your Pace challenge, which is a virtual race in which entrants can complete a set distance of either 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 or 200 miles.
Staff are choosing the distance they wish to cover and how they want to clock up the mileage. The challenge can be completed inside or on a treadmill and by either by walking or running (or a mixture of both). Employees can choose to accumulate the distance alone, with colleagues or with friends and family. It is hoped that the ‘Race’ will encourage staff to share their experiences as well as motivate each other to complete the challenge.
Those participating in the challenge are being asked to give a small personal charitable donation to Young Minds, an information, advice and support charity for young people affected by mental health. This cause was chosen as it is a known fact that exercise contributes positively to mental health. If you would like to show your support, you can donate at: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/warren-steele3.
