Ring Automotive tackles Yorkshire Three Peaks for charity
To raise money for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, a charity very important to many people at Ring Automotive, they braved the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge on Friday 12th June.
A team of 18 colleagues from Ring took part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, which saw them climb Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres), all of which were completed within 12 hours.
Overall, the challenge saw the team take on 40km of walking and 5,200ft of ascent.
The company set up a dedicated fundraising page for anyone who wants to donate. So far the team have raised over £1,400 and any donations are greatly appreciated by all.
Marketing director for Ring, Henry Bisson, said: “We have done the Three Peaks challenge as a team for the past few years and this year, we had 18 of us out in the dales.
“This year was the toughest yet, the great British weather was not on our side, but we battled through the ups and downs and raised a lot of money for our chosen charity, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, which is close to many of us.
“We were also doing this challenge in memory of a colleague and friend at Ring Automotive, who sadly passed away at the end of last year, so we were grateful to come together as a team and do this in his memory.”
