A team of 15 employees from What More UK, the Lancashire housewares manufacturer, and owner of the well-known brands Wham and BetterWare, will take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on Saturday 23rd August to raise vital funds for the Stroke Association.
The challenge will see the team, including director Garry Ireland, scaling the three iconic peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, covering 24 miles with over 1,500 metres of ascent.
These formidable peaks form part of the Pennine range and encircle the River Ribble valley in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Those taking part from What More UK have been training hard in recent months and are now asking for support as they look to raise £1,500 for the Stroke Association in memory of their much-missed colleague, Stuart Fetigan, who sadly passed away last year after suffering a stroke.
Donations to support What More UK’s Yorkshire Three Peaks fundraising challenge can be made via their JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/page/what-more-uk-ltd
Garry Ireland, director at What More UK, said: "Taking on the Three Peaks Challenge is no small feat, but every step we take is for Stuart and for the thousands of people affected by strokes every year.
"It’s a cause very close to our hearts, and the team have put in a lot of time training and preparing. We’re proud to support the Stroke Association, whose work makes a real difference to the lives of stroke survivors and their families."
Every day in the UK, 240 people experience the devastating impact of a stroke. The Stroke Association is the only UK charity providing lifelong support to stroke survivors and their loved ones.
