Wienerberger employees trek, climb and abseil for charity
Published: 27 September 2012
More than 50 representatives of bricks and roof tiles manufacturer Wienerberger UK, recently took on a massive challenge on Holy Island, Angelsey, to raise more than £3,000 for CLIC Sargent.
The challenge involved a 28km walk around the island interspersed with climbing, abseiling and a 35ft-high slackline running from cliff to cliff. Money is still pouring in for those who took part, and the team are hoping to raise more than £5,000 in total for the children's cancer charity.
Wienerberger UK's national accounts director Paul Hodgkinson said: "I would like to thank everyone who took part in the Holy Island challenge for their sheer determination over the weekend to raise money for CLIC Sargent. The money we have raised will go towards helping children and their families who are suffering with cancer, and being able to donate more than £5,000 is something [of which] we can all be very proud."
Donations can still be made on the team's
fundraising page.
