National Three Peaks Challenge - bet365 Core Systems

Hey there!

On Saturday May 25th 2024, a group of 7 colleagues from bet365's "Core Systems" department will be embarking on the National Three Peaks Challenge, and are looking to raise some money to donate to the pulmonary fibrosis trust.

The challenge comprises ascending and descending the largest mountain in Scotland, England, and Wales, including the driving between them all, with the aim to complete them all in under 24 hours.

The challenge has a total walking distance of 37km (23 miles) and a total ascent of 3064m (10,052ft) broken up by a total driving distance of 744km (462 miles)!

The group is comprised of the following people, who are usually best at home sat behind a computer desk, drinking copious amounts of coffee...however, each and every one of the individuals all possess a unique super power which becomes activated on weekends only, which we're hoping will help them excel in the challenge ahead!

Thank you for your donation, no matter how small or large!
