A group of staff from HSBC have completed the Three Peaks challenge, raising £35,000 in the process.
27 people from Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man climbed the three highest mountains in the UK within a 24-hour period: Snowdon (Wales), Scafell Pike (England) and Ben Nevis (Scotland).
“The Three Peaks Challenge is as much a mental test as it is physical, but the opportunity to raise funds for local charities and give something back to our communities motivated the team in both their training and during the climbs,” said Daniel Dowdall, who thought of the idea of undertaking the challenge.
“I’m very proud of everyone who took part and pushed themselves in order to support such good causes, and I am extremely grateful to everyone who donated and helped us to raise such a significant amount.”
The money raised will be split between Autism Guernsey, the St Peter Port Lifeboat Station, the Accidental Zoo and several other charities in both Jersey and the Isle of Man.
