At VIM Fundraising, we believe in the power of unity, fitness, and giving back to the community. As part of our ethos, we cover all expenses for our staff to participate in events throughout the year, allowing us to enter together as a team. This approach fosters a sense of togetherness and willingness among our staff that is truly inspiring.
Our preparation for the upcoming event has been rigorous and rewarding. We have committed to weekly gym sessions and regular running, both as a team and individually. This blend of group and solo training has helped us build strength, endurance, and a deeper connection with each other.
I expect the atmosphere at the event to be full of energy and support. There will be four of us participating, each bringing unique experiences and strengths to the team. Having previously run 100km events myself, and with another team member sharing this experience, while the other two have completed 50k and 100k walks, we are well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
This will be our very first company group event, marking a significant milestone for VIM Fundraising. Our ethos emphasises fitness, health, and wellbeing, and participating in such events allows us to put action where our mouths are. It’s a chance to live out our values and demonstrate our commitment to personal and collective growth.
The biggest challenge in these events is often mental toughness rather than physical fitness, though physical preparedness is crucial. We will support each other throughout the event, ensuring everyone has what they need. This collective effort is vital, especially when the going gets tough. We are looking forward to spending time together, encouraging each other, and celebrating our achievements.
While we haven't finished the event yet, I can already imagine the elation we will feel once we've pushed ourselves as far as we can. The sense of accomplishment will be immense, knowing we’ve worked hard and supported one another through every step.
Adding a deeper sense of purpose to our participation, the entry fee for this event will go to The Glass Door Homeless Charity. Contributing to such a meaningful cause motivates us to push through any challenges, knowing our efforts are making a difference.
This event will undoubtedly bring us closer together. Running as a team strengthens our bonds, making us more than just colleagues; it makes us a family. The experience reinforces the importance of teamwork and mutual support.
For other others considering such events, my advice is to train hard, eat well, and get fit to help prevent injury. The benefits in terms of team building and personal fulfilment are immense. Encourage your team, train together, and celebrate every small victory along the way.
This event embodies everything we stand for at VIM Fundraising. It’s a testament to our dedication to health, community, and supporting worthy causes. We have two more team-based running events planned for this year, and we’re excited to continue pushing our limits and strengthening our team spirit.
In conclusion, this upcoming event is not just about running; it’s about unity, determination, and making a positive impact. We are eager to take on this challenge together and look forward to the experiences and growth it will bring.
