A 13 strong team raised £1,500
Last weekend (11th-12th August 2018) The group’s efforts raised over £1,500 with the money still coming in, exceeding the £1000 that we had hoped to raise. The money is going to 3 separate charities the Marie Curie Foundation, Ollerton Memory Café & Mayflower Sanctuary in Bawtry.
The team which was made up by champions coming from ARK Alarm Response and Keyholding, VRC Monitoring Solutions, Cannon Fire Protection, APG & special guest Ben Solomon from Octavian IT Support who very nobly joined our cause. The team scaled Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough which was completed on Saturday after camping on Friday night to complete the Three Peaks Challenge which totals 2151 meters of climbing and over 24 miles of walking on rough terrain.
APG Managing Director, Ashley Haigh who was among the climbers, said:
“I think that this challenge was bigger than any of us had anticipated. I’m proud of all members of the team who took part and thank everyone for their donations which will go to worthy causes.”
