We wanted to let you know about a fantastic charity initiative two of our team are about to embark on. Lucy  Zakrzewska, Magnetise’s Publisher & Acquisition Manager and Tom Lees, Senior Account Exec, are heading off up the Inca Trail to raise money for Plan UK, the global children’s charity. The organisation works with children in the world’s poorest countries to help them build a better future. With their support children, families and entire communities have to the power to move themselves from a life of poverty to a future with opportunity.

On the 25th August, Lucy and Tom will be leaving for Peru to start their 4 day trek to reach the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Machu Picchu, the 15th century ‘Lost City of the Incas’ which is now Peru’s most visited tourist attraction. We’ll be keeping in touch with them during their travels so will let you know how they’re getting on here on the Magnetise blog.

We are all really proud of Tom and Lucy for giving their time and energy to help others, as well as a tiny bit jealous of the amazing time they are going to have. By reaching out to colleagues, friends and family, Lucy and Tom are already well over their donation target but we wanted to give them, and their charity, an extra push in the last few days before they head off on their most excellent adventure.

If you can, please therefore click over to their Just Giving page to help them raise even more funds for Plan UK.
