MERLYN and VADO raise £7,949 for the Pink Ribbon Foundation

A team from MERLYN and VADO completed the gruelling Derbyshire Three Peaks Challenge on October 15th and have currently raised £7,949 in support of the Pink Ribbon Foundation. The fundraiser, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month was part of MERLYN’s longstanding partnership with the charity.

The challenge comprised a 21-mile circular hike and included the summiting of Derbyshire’s 3 highest peaks. The team completed this in under 10 hours and received over 240 donations, smashing their initial target of £5,000.

The Pink Ribbon Foundation is a grant-making trust that provides financial support to UK Breast Cancer charities.

Eileen Slattery, marketing director at MERLYN, said: “It is always a privilege to raise funds for the Pink Ribbon Foundation and an honour to complete the Three Peaks Challenge alongside my wonderful colleagues. It’s been a tough day but a great day, and we are grateful for such generous support from our industry friends.”
