🌟 𝐍𝐂𝐋 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 🌟 Throughout the month of May, Barrhead Travel has taken part in NCL’s Walk to Wellness Challenge, with the aim to walk 40,000 miles. We’re happy to announce, NCL’s Walk to Wellness Challenge is now complete, and the target miles have been achieved! Barrhead Travel Group ranked 22 out of 117 teams - the highest placing for a team of our size! Barrhead Travel had 65 team members participating, getting fitter, and raising money for charity. Overall there were 1161 industry participants taking part in NCL’s Walk to Wellness, and Barry Gemmell from our Design Team took the overall champion top spot! In the 2nd week of the challenge, Barry’s daily average step count was 52k!! (that’s more than an average person’s weekly step count!) – such incredible commitment and competitiveness! It was a challenge, where the focus was adding movement to your day and Barry certainly did that. Adding extra movement in the office, upping his usual exercise routine to then getting his family involved with lots of outdoor fun, even on holiday he didn’t slack! Barry said “Overall this challenge has been a great incentive for everyone to get fit for a great cause. It’s proven to me that age is not a barrier to being the fittest physical version of yourself. Thank you to NCL for allowing me to take part in this challenge and helping me to push myself all throughout this month, to be the fittest I’ve been since my twenties.” Huge congratulations also go to Michael Gilmartin and Wayne Beard, who finished in the overall challenge top 10! Well done to everyone who participated! #WalktoWellnessChallenge
