Following in the footsteps of our UK and Romania colleagues, the Singapore constituent of Thomsons Online Benefits has accepted their challenge for 2017, raising money for the Singapore Children’s Society!!!
9 Thomsons people (and three very brave companions) from the Singapore office have been persuaded to climb Mount Ophir in Gunung Ledang National Park in Malaysia.
Some of the team have done it before, as part of the 2013 Challenge. When completing it Sergei said “It was alright…“. Martin said “Never again!”
The last time we went up Gunung Ledang, it took around 8 hours, 4 up and 4 down, and with all the ups and downs we had an elevation gain of 2713m, more than double the height of the mountain.
Training has already begun for the event… although with the highest point in Singapore being 163m, and Gunung Ledang being 1276m, it’s hard to find anywhere suitable to train in Singapore.
But we will try!!! After all, it's all in the name of charity!!! And that's where we need your help! Please please PLEASE help the Thomsons Singapore team to raise as much money as possible for the Singapore Children’s Society
Thomsons will match up to $500 per employee taking part of any sponsorship we raise, so please donate generously.
