Over 30 individuals have raised thousands of pounds for the Panathlon charity in recent weeks, participating in Swim Serpentine in September and the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October.
A dozen brave individuals dived in to the Serpentine on September 20th to swim two miles, including the amazing Rachael Hunt who in 2024 swam an incredible one million metres for the Panathlon charity.
Rachael said, “It was fantastic to get back in to the water and raise some more money for an amazing charity!”
On Sunday 12th, two dozen ‘Team Panathlon’ runners set off with another 15,000 participants in Hyde Park, taking in the sights and sounds of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, St. James’s Park and Green Park, before finishing outside the Royal Albert Hall.
Thousands of pounds were raised by our supporters from Woodland Group, JSS Search, EQ Investors and RBC BlueBay.
Arjun Parekh from EQ Investors (pictured top of page) said, “We had a great race day and really enjoyed running the Royal Parks Half Marathon for Team Panathlon and we’d like to thank our friends, family and colleagues at EQ Investors for supporting us.”
