Marketforce are excited to continue our adventures on the hiking trail! In support of the NEWSTRAID BENEVOLENT FUND, nine of our team from across the business are taking up the challenge of conquering the National Three Peaks! In just over two-weeks, they'll be attempting a 23-mile hike up 10,052 feet of altitude, across three countries. A task not for the faint of heart, these intrepid explorers are raising much needed money to support others in the industry. If you're open to supporting us in our fundraising mission, please donate via our Just Giving Page at https://lnkd.in/gq4edyHC - all donations will go directly to NewstrAid. We can't all take on the challenge, but you better believe we'll all be here cheering them on! 📣 🙌 #Magazines #UK #Charity #Fundraising #TeamWork #Support #ThreePeaks #Publishing #Distribution #Leadership
Marketforce National 3 peaks Challenge - August 2024 Following the success of last year’s Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, the Marketforce team has set itself a new challenge for 2024: to complete the National Three Peaks across Scotland, England and Wales. In just over 2 weeks, an intrepid group of 9 Marketforce colleagues, are taking on the challenge of completing the National Three Peaks challenge to raise money for our industry charity - Newstraid. What is the National Three Peaks challenge? The National Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales, often within 24 hours. The total walking distance is 23 miles (37km) and the total ascent is 3064 metres (10,052ft) - twice the ascent of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, over a similar total walking distance. The total driving distance is 462 miles - without getting to and from the mountains from London! Why are we doing it? This challenge is being organised to raise valuable funds for Newstraid. Newstraid is the UK based charity that supports individuals in the retailing and distribution section of the newspaper and magazine publishing industry who are in need of emotional or financial support. You can find out more about what they do here: https://lnkd.in/gqXRvWS8 In the current economic climate, Newstraid's activities are needed more than ever before. How can you help?
