Intrepid J S Wright team members have raised more than £5,000 for their adopted charity after completing an epic challenge in the Lake District.
Twenty-six staff and three suppliers tested their fitness, commitment and determination by taking part in the Lakes Triple Challenge in aid of Warwick-based Molly Ollys, which cares for children with life-threatening illnesses.
They cycled through the trails of Grizedale forest, trekked to the summit of the 803-metre-high Old Man of Coniston and kayaked across Coniston Water, one of the UK’s largest lakes, covering more than 24 miles over an eight-hour period.
J S Wright Director and Team Leader David Cook said: “This was an incredible achievement after our staff and suppliers endured a day of testing and gruelling challenges. We were all proud of our efforts for such a great charity.”
David added: “Thanks go to all those who made donations – and it isn’t too late to donate by visiting www.justgiving.com/fundraising/jswrightmollyollyswishes.”
Molly Ollys provides emotional and financial support, where appropriate, to children throughout the UK with terminal and life-threatening illnesses.
Staff from J S Wright and sister company Wright Maintenance have now raised more than £7,000 for their chosen charity this year from events including a sponsored football match, a one million steps marathon, a virtual walk to the company’s London office, and a dress down day before the Jubilee Weekend.
