This summer, a team from James Hardie will be taking part in The Three Peaks Challenge in support of The Cancer Support Centre in Sutton Coldfield.
The challenge, set to take place on 12th September will see ten team members climbing the highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike), and Wales (Snowdon), within 24 hours.
The challenge starts on Ben Nevis at 5am, then the team will travel six hours to Scafell Pike, leaving the final Welsh mountain, Snowdon, to be climbed at night. The hike will cover a total distance of over 23 miles, and a vertical ascent of more than 3,000 metres.
James Hardie aim to raise a total of £6000 to help further the support that the The Cancer Support Centre provides to those affected by cancer.
Lee Bucknall, UK country manager at James Hardie commented: “At James Hardie we encourage our team to work with local charities and engage with the community to foster a sense of social responsibility and camaraderie. This challenge is not only a test of physical stamina but also a fantastic opportunity to come together as a team and support a cause we are passionate about. The Cancer Support Centre is a local charity close to our hearts, and our UK HQ. The charity provides vital emotional and practical support to individuals and families affected by cancer.”
