Kilkenny-based company conquers Three Peaks Challenge in aid of Pink Ribbon Foundation
The team raised £7,949 (and counting) in support of the Pink Ribbon Foundation, a grant-making trust that provides financial support to UK Breast Cancer charities
A team from Kilkenny-based Merlyn and VADO have recently raised an amazing £7,949 (and counting) for The Pink Ribbon Foundation by completing the Derbyshire Three Peaks Challenge.
The fundraiser, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month was part of Merlyn’s longstanding partnership with the charity.
The challenge comprised a 21-mile circular hike and included the summiting of Derbyshire’s three highest peaks. The team completed this in under 10 hours and received over 240 donations, smashing their initial target of £5,000.
The Pink Ribbon Foundation is a grant-making trust that provides financial support to UK Breast Cancer charities.
“It is always a privilege to raise funds for the Pink Ribbon Foundation and an honour to complete the Three Peaks Challenge alongside my wonderful colleagues. It’s been a tough day but a great day, and we are grateful for such generous support from our industry friends,” said Eileen Slattery, Marketing Director at Merlyn.
