15 unique, artist-designed sculptures were displayed at auction houses and public spaces across the UK and Europe – from Yorkshire to Vienna – before going under the hammer at the RICS Surveyors House in Westminster.
An incredible £41,200 was raised on the night, plus more than £1,500 in follow-up donations, with the standout piece, created by artist Jonathan Armigel Wade, selling for over £10,000.
In total, the Bidpath team has raised over £100,000 for The Brain Tumour Charity, The National Brain Appeal, and the International Children's Palliative Care Network.
George’s journey
Wade received a life-altering diagnosis of two brain tumours in early 2024. After the removal of one tumour, and whilst continuing to fight the other, he ran the 2025 London Marathon with The National Brain Appeal, clocking a personal best of 3 hours and 16 minutes, and raising £41,000 in the process.
His friends and colleagues were inspired by his strength to continue to raise awareness and funds for underrepresented charities.
It was a pleasure to attend the Bidpath Foundation Charity Gavel Auction along with fellow board member Michael Sears and Immediate Past NAEA Propertymark President Toby Leek, in order to support our friend and colleague, George.
George’s determination and strength is truly inspiring. The team at Bidpath put on a fantastic evening, and we were delighted to secure “The Mighty Striker” gavel, which is now sitting in pride of place at Arbon House. The auction raised over £40,000 for its chosen charities, and we were delighted to support them.
