Professional from the two Ashby-based offices of Fisher German are teaming up with their colleagues nationwide to mark the company's 25th anniversary with its Big25 charity challenge. 

The Big25 will see colleges from its 25 offices across the country undergo a 2,400-mile journey without any motorised transport. 

The firm hopes to raise £25,000 in donations from the Big25 challenge and will match-fund any donations up to £25,000, meaning at lease £50,000 will be donated. 

The total amount will be divided equally between the 25 charities, with each office donating to their own local cause. 

The two Ashby offices have chosen to raise money for Leicestershire-based LOROS Hospice, which cares for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families, and Cardiac Risk of the Young, which works to prevent young sudden cardiac deaths by promoting awareness, conducting screenings and supporting affected families. 

The total raised so far is £25,642, smashing their target, and there is still 11 weeks of fundraising to go. 

So far, the team have travelled by walking, running, cycling, horseback riding, sailing, paddleboarding, skiing and even roller-skating. 

Fisher German Partner Stuart Flint said: "It is absolutely fantastic that we have already hit our fundraising target of £25,000, and as a business we are extremely proud to match-fund this in recognition of the efforts of our amazing colleagues, the many clients who have supported us and the collaboration of our excellent chosen charities.
