A team of eight from Marketforce have completed the National Three Peaks in 28.5 hours raising more than £4k for industry charity NewstrAid.
NewstrAid says the challenge involved climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales over the course of one weekend, covering 37 kilometres and ascending 10,000 feet.
Marketforce VP, 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.”
The Team took on the challenge after completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks in aid of NewstrAid in 2023 and deciding they had a taste for another adventure.
Joel 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, concluded: “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. mail@newstraid.org.uk 01279 879569 for more information.”
