Team sports are great. Team sports that ultimately help fulfill a wish for a seriously ill child are even better.
Our third fit@ceterion Team Challenge totaled 475 hours, 17 minutes, and 5 seconds. Running, cycling, hiking, swimming, basketball—everything counted, and every activity contributed to a shared total. In the final stretch, we even managed to recruit two more colleagues to join the team.
It had been agreed upon in advance: The more hours, the higher the donation. In the end, our board rounded up to the next highest amount: 1,000 euros for Herzenswünsche e. V.
The organization fulfills the long-cherished wishes of seriously ill children and teenagers. A special trip, a meeting with their favorite celebrity, a big dream. For the children and their families, these are moments they’ll never forget.
Carsten Lembeck presented the check to Ute Wiengarten, the association’s chief financial officer, on behalf of all of us. By the way, the bear in the photo stayed with the association; we only borrowed it briefly.
Thanks to everyone who ran, cycled, and worked up a sweat with us. The next challenge is sure to come.
Herzenswünsche has posted the handover on its own website.
