Aico join Captain Tom 100 Challenge
Aico got involved with the national Captain Tom 100 Challenge, in aid of local charity The Movement Centre. In April 2020, Captain Tom Moore raised more than £38.9 million for the NHS Covid-19 appeal by completing 100 laps of his garden. In order to honour him on what would have been his 101st birthday, the Captain Tom Foundation is encouraging everyone to get involved with the Captain Tom 100 Challenge and fundraise for excellent causes. Aico colleagues’ challenges included a 100-minute danceathon, running 100km, 100 press-ups, a 100-metre space-hopper sprint and eating 100 Yorkshire puddings!
Aico’s Community Liaison Jane Pritchard said: “We had already agreed to support The Movement Centre’s ’Sponsor a Child’ campaign this year and this was an ideal opportunity to get some fundraising underway. Our colleagues have been coming up with some weird and wonderful ideas for the Sir Captain Tom 100 challenge so far. We are really pleased that every colleague will be getting involved in some sort of challenge and contributing towards our fundraising goal.”
