5,000 Miles

On 1st June 2020, our long-standing friends at The O’Keefe Group, turned 50 years old! To celebrate the team took on the challenge to walk a collective 5,000 miles and raise £15,000 throughout June in support of three well-deserving charities.

During the #okeefe5000 challenge 113 staff members and families walked a total of 5,461.12 miles! Patrick O’Keefe himself kicked off the 1st mile and even walked a socially distanced half-marathon with some friends. The first place prize went to a family who walked 228.93 miles, with staff in Macedonia also taking part! Impressive feats were undertaken by many during this challenge including; 

  • The longest group walk by Chris Papuc, who along with some family & friends walked 63.91 miles in a day.

  • Mandy Seculer, did the longest individual walk and took the long way round to get milk walking 16.05 miles.

  • Michael Louth and his children throughout June walked to school every day, totalling 173 miles – amazing for the little legs!

We at 21 Together are just so thankful that, even though the world was in chaos, and we were in the middle of a pandemic, the O’Keefe team persevered, beat their target and raised a whopping £5,653.18 just for 21 Together.

THANK YOU!
