Race founder and principal of the commercial property team Andrew Grima described the 2019 Coleman Greig Challenge as a “terrific success”.

“We love the way the Coleman Greig Challenge brings the community and businesses together, there is an option for everyone to be part of the challenge,” Mr Grima said.

“Over the years we have built a wonderful community spirit in Western Sydney which is seen year in, year out, and each year the challenge gets bigger and better.”

Mr Grima added the money raised will go toward the purchase of vital equipment that will make “a real difference to the lives of children in need”.

The funds are going toward the Westmead Hospital Foundation, St Gabriel’s School Castle Hill and the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children (RIDBC).

Westmead Hospital Foundation plans to use the funds to purchase machinery that will allow women to move freely and naturally during labour to ensure wellbeing of babies.

RIDBC will put the money toward the alternative format publishing resources and St Gabriel’s School will create learning hubs for students.

“Coleman Greig Lawyers is proud to work with sponsors and participants and takes great pride in fundraising for charitable organisations,” the firm said.
