Our Cemex Wellness Week and bike ride challenge is now over and we want to send a huge congratulations to the amazing cycling team who completed their 5-day 430 mile bike ride safely from Stockton to Southampton. Well done – what an amazing achievement! You can check out the photos and videos on our website HERE.
We would also like to extend our congratulations and thanks to everyone who rose to the challenge during our first ever Cemex Wellness Week. There were some fantastic team and individual efforts throughout the week and the competitiveness spirt was a joy to see. We hope you enjoyed taking part!
Cyclists and steppers together as a One Cemex team, achieved more than 16 million equivalent steps – that’s equivalent to 7,576 miles or travelling from Lands’ End to John o’ Groats almost 13 times!!!
This incredible achievement would not have been possible without everyone coming together from our different departments and business units from across the UK, with a common goal of boosting our wellbeing, raising awareness and fundraising for Sense while having fun along the way.
The Results!!
We are now delighted to share the results!!!
Congratulations to the team Wings of a Dove – this amazing group of colleagues from Dove Holes logged the highest number of average steps – together logging 128k average steps! A huge well done to team members: Julian Wildgoose, Billy Scobbie, Nicola Drabble, Donna Woolliscroft, Tracey Millen and Stephen Leigh.
Our congratulations also go to Jake Jenkinson from Customer Experience, who logged the highest number of individual steps with a whopping 225k steps!! An amazing achievement for seven days of activities! Well done!
All of our winners will be receiving their well-deserved prizes soon!!
So the big question is, did our steppers match the equivalent steps of the cycling team? The answer is almost!! The cycling team cycled the equivalent of 8,165,000 steps and our colleagues stepped a total of 8,006,992 steps.
Fundraising for Sense
So far we have raised over £9,400 for Sense, the majority of which has been raised by the cycling team along with various other fundraising efforts from our UK colleagues. Our ambition now is to raise more than £10,000. To help us reach this target we will be holding a raffle where you can win one of three goodie bags with Sense and Cemex branded goodies along with an exclusive NEW Sense cycling jersey.
To enter the raffle, simply click this unique JustGiving link HERE (or scan the QR code) to donate to Sense and for every £1 donated, this will count as an individual raffle ticket (e.g £10 buys you 10 raffle entries). The deadline for entering is Friday 11th October.
Good luck and thank you.
