The virtual event is accessible for all Hitachi Capital staff across UK, United States and the Netherlands. Each participant will be required to complete a 5km run or walk between 14 - 27 September 2020. You can do it in the great outdoors, on a running machine, on your own or as part of a team. Then send us over a picture - it can be anything you want, whether that’s a screen shot from your fitness app/Strava, a selfie whilst running or even just the scenery if you’re camera shy.
Visit our JustGiving page and donate a minimum of £5 to take part in the initiative. All funds will be matched by HCUK and donated to our chosen charity, Genetic Disorders UK, a charity who provide information and support to all those affected by genetic disorders. The charity estimates that there are over 2.4m children and adults living with a genetic disorder in the UK, and we want to do our bit to continue supporting this fantastic charity.
Send over your entry by e-mailing michael.porter@hitachicapital.co.uk directly with your image and your accompanying description (15 words max.). Time to get creative!
Each participant will receive a Hitachi Capital 5k medal to include on your e-mail signature.
Should you win, you will able to take home the following:
