We have raised more than £1,000 for two local charities after completing a 20-mile hike to celebrate our 20th anniversary.
In total, 13 of us took to the hills around Dronfield to complete the sponsored walk, adding £1,137 to the money being raised by our Belmayne Foundation.
All this year’s funds will be split equally between our two chosen charities – Derbyshire Carers Association and Edale Mountain Rescue Team.
The 20-mile walk encompassed the outlying villages of Holmesfield, Apperknowle and Unstone. It took us eight and a half hours to complete and included a total climb of 2,840 feet.
Organiser, Tracy Knight, Belmayne’s administration manager, said: “This challenge wasn’t for the fainthearted and by the time we reached mile 17, everyone was suffering. That said, it was a fantastic bonding experience and one we’ll be talking about for years to come. Thanks to all the friends, family and colleagues who supported us. Their generosity definitely kept us going!”
Since its launch in 2019, the Belmayne Foundation has donated almost £44,000 to registered charities that support health and wellbeing and provide relief to those in need. Click here for more information.
