Lee Carratt, franchise partnerships director at LSL Estate Agency Franchising, took on The Flower of Suffolk Hundred on 24 May to raise funds for Agents Giving – the official charity for the property industry – and clocked up £1,846 in donations, nearly doubling his original fundraising target of £1,000.
Ahead of the event, Carratt shared his tentative excitement for the day: “It’s going to be a huge challenge, both physically and mentally, but I’m proud to be doing it for such a great cause.”
Then, the 100-mile circular took Carratt across Suffolk, past some of LSL’s own franchisee branches, where he was met with an extra cheer of support, before finishing back in Ipswich after ticking off 102.2 miles for charity.
Carratt completed the challenge in 28 hours and 28 minutes, securing 35th place out of 500 participants.
“Agents Giving does incredible work supporting communities and charitable efforts across our industry, and I hope this adventure helped raise awareness,” Carratt said.
“I’m truly grateful to everyone who donated, the public support meant the world to me,” he added. “Seeing some of our LSL franchisee branches along the route gave me a real boost and reminded me just how strong our community is.”
