Tigerbond, based in Glasgow, participated in the Three Peaks of the UK challenge to raise £8,000 in memory of their former colleague Rhiannon Evans.
Scots workers took on the UK's Three Peak challenge and raised nearly £8,000 in memory of a co-worker who passed away from meningitis.
Inspired by Rhiannon’s determination, drive and spirit, three separate teams tackled Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis with Helvellyn also thrown in for good measure as a result of poor weather conditions. The funds raised will allow the charity to provide emotional, practical and financial support for people in the UK who have been affected by meningitis.
“Despite the weather, which was at times determined to discourage us, our teams were resilient and conquered the four peaks, spurred on by the memory of Rhiannon. I am overwhelmed by the generosity of our supporters which will help fund the invaluable services Meningitis Now offers to families affected by the disease.
Dr Tom Nutt, CEO of Meningitis Now, added: “We are really grateful to all of the staff at Tigerbond for undertaking this incredible fundraising challenge in Rhiannon’s memory.
