Celebrating SJP Law’s Corporate Challenge
A heartfelt thank you to SJP Law for taking on a corporate challenge that supports MSA Trust. These initiatives are invaluable in helping us continue our mission to support individuals affected by MSA (Multiple System Atrophy). We encourage all of our members to connect with their employers and suggest similar challenges. Whether it’s a charity event or a community project, these efforts play a crucial role in raising awareness and funds, allowing us to provide ongoing support for all those with MSA.
“At SJP Law, we prioritise our teams’ mental health and well-being, and we strongly believe that exercise and socialising are key elements of this. When we came across the Yorkshire Marathon Relay, it seemed like the perfect fit for a Corporate Challenge, as the various leg distances accommodated a range of running and walking abilities. Initially, we expected to pull together just one team of six, but due to the overwhelming interest, we ended up with three teams!
Our team members thoroughly enjoyed having a goal to work toward, and the experience has given everyone the “running bug.” Beyond the Corporate Challenge being a fantastic team-building event, we wanted to support a charity close to our hearts. Recently, the husband of one of our team members was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a condition few of us knew about. After his diagnosis, he received support from the MSA Trust, and we wanted to help raise awareness of this condition and the fantastic resources available.
On marathon day, 17 members of SJP Law, ranging in age from 15 to 59, ran a combined 126.6 km over 14 hours and 46 minutes in support of the MSA Trust. We loved every minute of it and are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported us in this challenge and helped the MSA Trust continue to provide essential services.”
