Magazine distributor Marketforce has seen a team of eight complete the National Three Peaks in 28.5 hours, raising more than £4k for industry charity NewstrAid.
The Three Peak challenge involves climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales. The Marketforce team completed the feat over the course of one weekend, covering 37 kilometres and ascending 10,000 feet.
Marketforce vice-president Joel Griffiths said: “It was an amazing weekend and I am really proud of the team who showed real grit and determination in taking on the challenge. We were all delighted to be raising money for NewstrAid which provides such vital support to people from our industry when times get tough.”
Griffiths added: “The Marketforce team are always up for new challenges and we are already discussing what we might do next year to raise money for this excellent cause.”
Neil Jagger, CEO for NewstrAid, said: “Support like this from people working in the newspaper and magazine industry is vital to our work not only from a fundraising perspective but also for keeping NewstrAid front and centre of people’s minds. Anyone interested in taking on a challenge in aid of our charity, however big or small, should contact us through mail@newstraid.org.uk 01279 879569 for more information.”
