INTREPID workmates at a Rugby business have raised thousands for charity by taking on a gruelling 26-mile hike.
Staff from scaffolding company PERI’s UK head office in the town joined colleagues from across the country to take part in the Big Hike Challenge to raise money for Cancer Research UK, the company’s chosen charity of the year.
All participants successfully completed the full hike in either Loch Lomond or the South Coast, with each route covering a distance of over 26 miles.
Employees from Cidon Construction teamed up with PERI for the Loch Lomond hike as part of their ‘Making a Difference’ fundraising campaign.
Together, both companies raised over £10,800 for the charity across both hikes.
PERI UK’s Head of Marketing Tracy Armstrong said: “This is the biggest fundraising event we’ve taken part in since before Covid-19.
“We’re committed to increasing our contribution to local and national charities and are even more encouraged by the amount we’ve raised from these two events alone.
“While we raise money for charity through our local offices, events like this are great at bringing our colleagues together from all over the UK for a good cause.”
As part of PERI’s plans to continue supporting local and national charity events, employees will be taking part in the Night Shine Walk for Cancer Research UK in September.
