In seven years at credit Agricole I have been an avid supporter of bank events. Initially I was selected to captain our London football in the groups international football tournament in Paris five consecutive years). I then captained a team in the 2010 great escape challenge for Marie Curie Cancer care which was a 60 team endurance race (both mentally and physically) over a 40km course lasting 9.5hours. We also completed in 2011 raising approx £10,000 for the charity over in all. I also obtained by way of donations, a football kit and footwear for my cousin who works for the charity, Vision Rescue so that their Indian slum football team was able to participate in their first ever football tournament this summer.
