We're all very out of our comfort zones with the challenges we've chosen but really wanted to come together (virtually) to mark the charity's anniversary, raise awareness and much-needed funds and support each other along the way!

We'll be sharing team member stories and updates here and on the PDA Society Instagram Stories throughout the challenge so please do check in from time to time to keep up with our progress.

Whether you're able to donate a little or a lot or simply share our fundraiser with others, THANK YOU! Every penny raised will help us to help others living and working with PDA.
