Qedis Cycle 300km From Paris to London for Charity

LONDON, June 13, 2011 -

    - Qedis Consulting
Teams up for a Long-Distance Cycle to raise
£10,000 for KEEN London

For the second year in a row, consultants from Qedis have gone
that extra mile and taken on some quirky and somewhat barmy
athletic challenges to raise funds for their charity of the year.
Last summer, it was a 54 mile double-marathon from Maidenhead to
London. This time, a group of fifteen Qedites cycled 300 kilometres
from the Paris office of their partner, Oresys, all the way to the
Qedis office in London. In addition to this group of cyclists,
other Qedis employees were sponsored to cycle from Brighton to
London (on and off road routes), from Ealing to London, and to
participate in a 15 mile Thames River Walk. All of these efforts
were made to help the children of KEEN London.

KEEN is the only charity in London which offers one-to-one
sports and recreational opportunities for children and young adults
with special needs, and their siblings. Taking part in sports and
recreational activities promotes physical development and
co-ordination, helps develop social skills and encourages teamwork
for these children. Since KEEN doesn’t charge for sessions, they
rely entirely on the generosity of donors and sponsors. That’s why
Qedis is so happy to raise and donate funds for this outstanding
organisation through ChallengeQ!

ChallengeQ culminated in London’s Regents Park on Saturday, with
a finish line celebration!

There was a sports day and a picnic for the KEEN children, for
whom Qedis have raised over £10,000. Cameron Fraser, KEEN London
co-ordinator said, “We are delighted to have Qedis as a
supporter. Everyone there has been extremely generous with both
their time and their fundraising efforts and every penny they raise
will make a difference to the families we support.”

world thinks about consulting.
