🏅 Celebrating Our Marathon Heroes! 🏅 Congratulations to our incredible colleagues who took on the challenge of the New York City Marathon, showcasing resilience, determination, and the power of community. Each runner had a unique story and motivation for hitting the pavement—and we’re proud to share a handful of them📄✨   A huge shoutout to our Enable Employee Resource Group, who brought the energy to the Cheer Zone!

While we’re usually focused on navigating market cycles, last month our colleagues took on a different kind of cycle when 45 members of the ING bike team—including Andrew Bester, Global Head of Wholesale Banking and Kris Devos Global Head of Bond Syndicate from Belgium—took part in National MS Society (NMSS)’s Bike MS: New York City 2025! Riders chose between a scenic 30-mile loop from Manhattan or the more challenging 50-mile route through Palisades Interstate Park. Together, the ING team has already raised an incredible $45,000, with fundraising continuing toward our ambitious $75,000 goal. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS) provides critical support, resources, and research funding to help those affected by this unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. ING is proud to stand with them in this mission. A huge thanks to those who rode, volunteered, donated, or cheered us on. Special recognition to our dedicated co-captains: Britta DellaCamera, Donal Smith, Carolina Lupo, JC Vallarino, and Steve Nettler. Their leadership and energy helped bring together colleagues, friends, and family for a day of purpose and fun! Let’s keep the momentum going— Help us achieve our $75,000 goal at the link below: https://lnkd.in/e-UwG_Kq
