Many children don’t have the luck to grow up in an environment which offers them the range of opportunities from which we are all privileged to benefit.

This charity help us to look ahead to other prospectives rather than our usual day-to-day happy routine. I will give my best contribution to help the team to raise [...]

Nike’s recently released slogan “Every damn day, just do it” pretty much summarizes my life philosophy and what keeps me awake and focussed. I enjoy life every day, and I realize this is a gift, being able to do off-limit activities like this. I enjoy pushing my limits, take it one step further every time. [...]

As we emerge from a financial crisis that has effected the entire world, we remain more committed than ever to taking Schools Around The World forward across our EMEA region.

The Italian team are raising funds for rebuilding a sports facility for local schools in a town in Abruzzo (Southern Italy) which, more than one year on, is still suffering the effects of one of Europe’s biggest earthquakes.

On April 6th 2009 the earthquake in Abruzzo caused severe damages to the historical centres and as a consequence also caused major disruption to the local delicate social structure.
The risk now is that young generations would leave their places of origin looking for better opportunities of growth and aggregation. For this reason it is vital [...]

Why am I doing this? SATW is a charity which means a lot to me, my family and many colleagues at Cushman & Wakefield.
Harry Farthing (MD of C&W Italy) put forward this idea several months ago and whilst I wish he would have suggested a 5 km fun run, I am proud to help raise [...]

In 2006 I trekked to Everest Base Camp in support of the Cushman & Wakefield Schools Around the World charity when I and three others from C&W supported Harry Farthing, attempt to summit Everest. This was an experience in itself and yes, I have decided to do it all again, overcoming altitude, sleep on [...]

Why Kilimanjaro? Well, I’m aiming to raise money for a fantastic cause while testing myself physically, mentally and emotionally to the limit (and beyond)
My training to date consists of a training weekend in Somerset, walking the Cheddar Gorge, 4 days being dragged round every single shop in New York, not quite enough work in the [...]
