We are delighted to share a fantastic update from our first fundraising efforts of the year in support of the Stroke Association.

Emily from the Percy Hughes & Roberts team has completed the “74 Miles in March” challenge, and went above and beyond in the process. Not only did she meet the target, but she exceeded it by walking an incredible 77.77 miles throughout March.
Her achievement is even more impressive when you look at the detail behind it:

• 31 hours of walking 
• Over 193,000 steps taken 

Thanks to her dedication and the generosity of supporters, Emily raised a brilliant:

• £1,080 in donations 
• £155 in Gift Aid 

This is a fantastic contribution towards supporting stroke survivors and raising awareness of the vital work carried out by the Stroke Association.

Alongside this, we also held our Easter raffle, which raised an additional £100 for our fundraising efforts. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of those who donated prizes and contributed on the day, helping to make the event a great success.

We are incredibly proud of Emily’s achievement and grateful to everyone who has supported our fundraising so far. This is just the beginning, and we look forward to continuing our efforts throughout the year.
