Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor is inviting the local community to join them and travel “Around the World in a Day” on Sunday June 6th as part of Hilton in the Community Foundation’s annual national charity event. The day will also include a fun-filled afternoon at the Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor for families to come along to and enjoy. This will include a Wii competition, music, face painting and, of course, the Radio Lollipop shop.

According to Steve Hall, General Manager at Hilton Edinburgh Grosvenor, this year’s event is another fantastic opportunity for the community to get together and to have fun in support of a great cause. “It doesn’t matter what age you are or your fitness level, every bit of effort helps! To get involved all you have to do is register in advance and come and join us on June 6th for an amazing day of summer fun and exercise.”

The effort is part of a national challenge whereby Hilton team members, charity partners and the public will all be working together on the day in over 75 hotels and offices across Europe, collectively aiming to travel the circumference of the earth – 24,901.55 miles. They will also be competing to see who can cover the most miles.

Registration packs, including an event t-shirt cost just £5. To register or to find out more information please call +44 (0)20 7605 7641 or log onto www.hilton-foundation.org.uk
