as they take part in the annual fundraising event in the Cancer
Research Ultimate Challenge
Press
Release Body: Schillings, the UK's leading law
firm dedicated to safeguarding the reputations of international
corporations, brands, celebrities and high-profile business people
is set to join other corporate teams as they take part in the
Mothers and Daughters Ultimate Challenge, all
day fun-packed 'It's a Knockout' style event in aid of the Cancer
Research UK charity.
This
will be the 10th consecutive year of the Ultimate Challenge
and it will be the first time Schillings has
entered a team, taking some time off from the world of reputation
management to battle against several other teams in the Corporate
Challenge, which promises to be a series of outlandish games and
exciting challenges.
Schillings
fundraising attempts in the run up to the charity
day fuels the hopes that their involvement will help surpass the
success of last year's Ultimate Challenge event, which raised
a tremendous £165,000 for Cancer Research. The money was
donated to the research of Professor Richard Begent of
the Cancer Research UK Targeting and Imaging group at the Royal
Free and University College Medical School.
The
2008 Mothers and Daughters Cancer Research Ultimate Challenge
featuring the team from Schillings
is scheduled to take place on Sunday 7 September in the
scenic grounds of Haberdashers Boys Askes Boys School,
in Elstree, Hertfordshire. The games themselves will be run by
a professional events company to help raise money for Cancer
Research UK, and will include several huge wet and dry
inflatables which always make these events so much fun for participants
and spectators alike.
The
Mothers & Daughters committee was founded in
1999 by a group of concerned women whose aim was to ensure a better
future for their children and future generations through research
into cures for cancer. Each year they choose a different Cancer
Research UK project to support and eight years on they have raised
a total of over a million pounds.
