Eight team members from integrated marketing consultancy HROC have signed up for the gruelling Three Peaks Challenge in aid of CLIC Sargent, a national charity supporting children and their families living with cancer. 

The challenge starts on Friday 10th June in Scotland, finishing a day later in Wales. The aim of the challenge is to scale Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, the three highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales within a 24-hour time period.

The team of volunteers comes from across the business and aims to raise £5000 for the charity. 

Andy Aston, Planning Director at HROC said "This is a massive challenge for all of us but we are really looking forward to it. The hardest part so far has been finding someone willing to drive the minibus, although I suspect the lack of sleep and physical and mental stress will take its toll soon enough. 

"We are already training hard for the challenge and have ambitious targets to complete it within the 24-hour limit and to raise as much money as possible for this very worthwhile charity". 

Every day 10 families are told the devastating news that their child has cancer. CLIC Sargent is the only charity offering them care and support every step of the way. 

A just giving website has been set up http://www.justgiving.com/hroc3peaks for anyone wishing to support the team.
