Assisi Pet Care group to raise money for the Blue Cross pet charity

The Assisi Pet Care group is embarking on a fundraising tour of Europe with the aim of raising £2,000 for the Blue Cross pet charity.

From 10 June, Assisi employees across the UK will be banding together as they prepare to virtually cycle, walk, and run a total 1,200 miles

This is the same distance from Assisi Headquarters, in Melton Mowbray, to the town of Assisi in central Italy and over the month, employees will be logging their miles and steps via an app.

Tour D’Assisi, named after Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals, will see the proceeds of the charity incentive be donated to the Blue Cross.

Peter Mangion, CEO, said: “We are thrilled to be taking part once again in the Tour D’Assisi. We’re encouraging all brands and all departments to take part, whether they are avid cyclists, walkers or runners, there’s a way for everyone to get involved and make a difference. Our aim is helping the Blue Cross’ goal of a world where all pets enjoy a happy, healthy life, and where more people can experience the joy of pets.”
