MEGA teams tackle Three Peaks in aid of Pendleside Hospice

Fourteen people from Pendleside Hospice MEGA Raiseathon teams joined forces to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, raising an expected £3,000 for the Hospice.  

Mike Steel, a Pendleside Hospice trustee, said: "This was a 25-mile walk that took on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, and included 5,200ft of ascent. On the day there was a great team spirit, with everyone supporting each other to get over all the physical hills and the mental barriers. It just shows what can be achieved when everyone works together; it was an amazing day and the MEGA Raiseathon teams for Pendleside were awesome."

Christina Cope, head of corporate fundraising at the hospice added: "I would like to offer a huge thank you to the employees of Balmers GM, JM Glendinning (the MEGA Raiseathon sponsors),  Jak Spedding Photography, the members of BNI Kudos and their customers and business contacts for raising over £3,000 through the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. The enthusiasm and commitment of everyone to support local people who use Pendleside was amazing.  The challengers should be very proud of everything they have achieved."

If anyone would like to take part in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks for Pendleside, we have another group challenge on Saturday 4th September.  Please contact Jo Applegate [email protected] for an information pack
