Last Thursday, colleagues from our Barcelona office came together for the first edition of the ICON Run4Health, organised by our Barcelona Volunteering Team. Team members took part in a 5K run or walk to raise funds for ASEM Catalunya (ASEMCAT), an organisation dedicated to supporting people living with neuromuscular diseases. A big thank you to everyone who participated and supported this initiative. It’s inspiring to see our teams staying active, connecting with colleagues, and making a positive impact in the community.
