YOU SMASHED IT! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️👏

Huge congratulations to our wonderful athletes who smashed the Royal Parks Half - London yesterday morning – you did us all proud!

It was quite the challenge and a lot hillier than many of the runners originally thought it was going to be! There’s definitely a few sore legs at GovNet HQ today, but it was amazing to see so many of our colleagues take the morning to come and support the team too.

Collectively, the runners have raised £2,440 so far and GovNet will be matching the fundraising – all for the wonderful Maggie’s Centres. There’s still time to donate. Visit our post on LinkedIn to find the fundraising links.
