Blisters fade, but impact lasts. 👏

After 27 miles of steep climbs, uneven terrain and many battles with the weather, we're so proud of our CO Retail Network who have completed the the Brecon Beacons trail in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association.

A huge thank you to everyone who supported, donated and followed the journey, and of course to the team who completed the trail!

A special shoutout to our work experience students, Adam and Diego, who put this post together and were tasked with capturing the story behind this challenge. They have done a fantastic job!

We're so close to £13,000 on our JustGiving fundraiser for the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association and any donations are greatly appreciated. Your donations will help to support the vital work carried out by this incredible charity.

Day 2 is underway!👏

The CO Retail Network team are back on their trek across the Brecon Beacons and taking on some of the toughest terrain in the country!

Despite the conditions, spirits remain high as they push on in support of this year's chosen charity, the MND Association. Every step helps raise awareness and vital funds for this incredible charity.

And, we have to give a special shout-out to our Marketing Director, Karen Clough, who, in true CO Network fashion, is celebrating her birthday today whilst taking part in this gruelling challenge!

Day one in the books....

And it was a wet and windy one!

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far. The gang are having (something of) an early night ahead of completing the second half of their trek across the Beacons tomorrow.

We're putting ourselves through this in aid of the MND Association. Every penny and every pound really does count. If you can cheer our team on and help support the MNDA, we'd be extremely grateful: https://www.justgiving.com/page/co-retail-network-2026

We asked the team who they think will win the World Cup 2026, and here's what they said! 👇
The team have spoken and Spain and France came out as the favourites!

Now the countdown is on to see if they're right.🏆
Who has your vote?

And they are off!

Members from across the CO Retail Network are on route to their start point as they begin a two-day trek across the Brecon Beacons.

Over the next 48 hours, they'll tackle some of the toughest terrain in the country. So tough that the British Army uses it for high-level training exercises!

And they're doing this to raise funds for this year's chosen charity, the MND Association

The MNDA do fantastic work, and we're honoured to be partnering with them.

Next week, several members of the CO Retail Network will attempt to conquer the Brecon Beacons in aid of the MND Association

After tackling the Welsh 3000s and the National Three Peaks in recent years, our team is taking on the fearsome range in South Wales that's home to some of the toughest British Army training challenges.

If it's good (and tough) enough for the Army, it's perfect for us!

And for this year's challenge, we've picked the MND Association to help make every day matter and support the outstanding work they do.

We're aiming big. Over the years, we've raised north of £65,000 for various charities, and we want to keep that positive momentum rolling as we rock up in Merthyr Tydfil next week.
