💪🌻 From Start to Finish for a Great Cause! 🌻💪

What a journey! Our team at First Choice Credit Union recently took on the challenge of HYROX in support of the incredible The Sunflower Children's Hospice.

These before and after photos tell the story better than words ever could — determination, teamwork, resilience, and a few tired legs at the finish line! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

A huge thank you to Kathryn Sullivan and everyone at The Movement for their encouragement, expert guidance, and for providing such a fantastic facility to help us prepare for the event. Your support played a huge part in helping us cross that finish line.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraising efforts for Sunflower Children's Hospice to date. Every contribution helps make a difference to children and families who need it most. ❤️ You can still donate in our offices all this week - every little bit helps.
