We hit day 30 of the 30-Day Fitness Challenge!
We closed this year’s challenge with great individual and team accomplishments.
Over the month of May, Australia’s property and construction industry sweated, stepped and cycled together to raise an impressive $148,369 for The Haven Project – building homes for homeless youth.
This year’s 30-Day Fitness Challenge was another huge collective effort, with 558 fundraisers and 79 teams recording over 45,000kms by walking, running, cycling or choosing their own fitness activity. Rain and inclement weather didn’t dampen the spirits of our fearless challengers, with some remarkable performances from individuals and teams.
“I’m proud I made it through the entire month and I have managed to reach my 12K goal,” said our individual winner, Vanessa Borg, Project Manager at MPA. “I’m so happy with that achievement. To be personally involved in this fantastic charity is an honour. Love your work Property Industry Foundation!”
