Hines UK are walking to Houston!
Hines UK are going the distance – specifically, to Houston!
In support of two incredibly worthy charities, both of which are close the hearts of the Hines UK team, we are collectively walking the distance between Grainhouse, our European HQ in London, and Texas Tower, our global HQ in Houston – a staggering 4,848 miles – to raise vital funds for The Compassionate Friends (https://www.tcf.org.uk/) and the Thames Valley Air Ambulance (https://www.tvairambulance.org.uk/).
HUK’s months-long effort will culminate in a half-marathon on Thurs 12th September to complete the final 13 miles of the total – so there is plenty of time to donate! Please support the team in any way you can in aid of these two worthy causes:
The Compassionate Friends is a charitable organization of bereaved parents, siblings and grandparents dedicated to the support and care of other similarly bereaved family members who have suffered the death of a child or children. They offer support, both directly to the bereaved families, and indirectly by fostering understanding and good practice amongst professionals concerned with child death, and by increasing public awareness.
Thames Valley Air Ambulance exists to give everybody within their community of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire the best chance of surviving and recovering from an emergency. Set up in 1999, their helicopters are regularly dispatched from their base at RAF Benson in South Oxfordshire to bring the expertise, equipment and treatment of the hospital to critically ill and injured patients. The paramedics, doctors and pilots onboard work together to deliver the best care, which can include performing critical medical procedures before getting to the hospital, and in 2023, they responded to 3,293 emergencies – their busiest year on record.
A sincere thank you in advance from all of the Hines UK team for your donation.
Houston, We Did It! 🎉 Final Milestones and Thanks
We did it! 🎉 We have officially completed our walk to Houston! 🚀 This incredible achievement wouldn't have been possible without each and every one of you putting in the effort, logging those kilometers, and pushing through to the end. Your dedication and team spirit have truly shone through. Special shoutouts: Sam and Greg for consistently battling it out for the top 2! We could not have completed this challenge (this year at least) without you both! 🏆 All those who hit over 100% of their target – amazing job! 💪 Mike for having the longest recorded activity – truly impressive! 🏃♂️ And to all those who will be baking in the bake sale to make up for the fact they hit under 100 km – your contributions are just as sweet! 🍰 Your efforts have made an impact, and we should be incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together. Now, let's take a moment to celebrate this fantastic accomplishment! 🥳 Thank you for your hard work, enthusiasm, and team spirit throughout this challenge. You’ve made this journey to Houston an unforgettable one. Enjoy a well-deserved rest and grab some celebratory treats (perhaps at our next bake sale? 😉).
