On 26 and 27 June 2005 a team of six people from Kirkpatrick & Hopes accountants and business advisors based in Theale, climbed the three highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales.
This demanding and invigorating event was used to raise money for Cancer Research UK and the team raised approximately £2,500, which is urgently needed to help more people climb the mountain of beating cancer! In 36 hours they walked up Mount Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis.
The team of Steve Mills, Stuart Evans, Lisa Webb, Jim Ewan, John Leeke and Graham Farragher said it was by far the hardest physical thing they had ever done. Jim Ewan, an experienced marathon runner added “It was harder than running the London Marathon”.
Managing Director at Kirkpatrick & Hopes Andrew Gray said “I am very proud of the team, it was a great effort and they should all feel very proud of themselves”.
