The challenge gives teams of six people from member companies in challenge to make as much money from £100 as possible.
Together the teams have so far raised £4,000 but time is running out.

All money raised is going to the South East Cancer Help Centre so that they can provide an outreach service for their users.
Reporter Harry Miller said: "I know we are at the bottom of leader board at the moment but I am confident that will soon change. I personally manned the BBQ in our company car park and I am an excellent cook."
We are appealing to our readers to help us fundraise as much money for charity as we can.
Simply answer the following question and if you are correct, your name will be entered into a draw and you could be in line to win an iPod or dinner for two at the Rayon D'or restaurant.
