Bernhard launches Race across the World charity challenge

Bernhard and Company launched a company-wide challenge to raise funds for Crohn’s and Colitis UK, by taking on the Race across the World from March through May.

The Race across the World challenge encourages Bernhard team members to cover the farthest distance possible though May 31, walking, running, or cycling, with money raised for every mile.

“We’re really proud to be launching another charity fundraising challenge,” managing director Steven Nixon said. “As a team, we’re committed to supporting great causes, and by launching this challenge, everyone in the business will come together to do their very best to raise crucial funds.

“Living with Crohn’s disease can be tough, as anxieties caused by the disease can have negative effects on mental health. So, we’re excited to work as hard as we can during these few months to keep moving and help to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by those affected.”

Crohn’s and Colitis UK provides support and information for 300,000 UK citizens who are diagnosed with the disease, which affects gut health and leads to inflammatory bowel disorder. The charity aims to provide support and up-to-date information on the diseases for anyone who needs it, as well as breaking the taboo on the unpleasant disorders.
