We’re pleased to support Refuge, which helps victims of domestic violence to rebuild their lives.

Sunday 31 January 2021 marked the end of the challenge, which saw 26 teams and over 250 participants consisting of junior lawyers, their colleagues, friends and families attempt to walk/run 500 miles in teams of up to 10 participants, within 30 days.

Over 20 teams exceeded the 500 miles target and some teams completed over double this distance with the teams clocking up a combined total of well over 16,000 miles!

We would like to give recognition to Farrer & Co Team 4 who were the first to reach the target of 500 miles and RPC Bristol Team for getting the highest number of miles at the end of the challenge!

The feedback from participants has been incredible with many commenting how much the challenge helped them stay motivated and positive during the winter lockdown.

We hope all the participants enjoyed being out and about and that it helped them connect with friends, families and colleagues at a time when we are unable to see each other in person.

We have raised a fantastic total of over £8,500 including gift aid so far.

We’re overwhelmed with the amount that has been raised and want to say a huge thank you to every single one of our participants and all those who have donated so generously.

The money raised will help many victims of domestic violence to get support and rebuild their lives free from fear.
