Three employees from Daish’s Holidays, a UK based family-owned coach holiday provider, will take on a major challenge to climb Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in England and Wales, later this month to raise money for the company’s chosen 2024 charity, The Eve Appeal.
Paul Harper, Darren Gilchrist, and Benjamin Hayter from the company’s Bournemouth head office will be taking on the challenge of trekking up and down Mount Snowdon overnight on 27th September, in efforts to raise funds and awareness for the charity. Their chosen route will see them cover nine miles over approximately five to eight hours.
The Eve Appeal funds research and raises awareness into the prevention and early diagnosis of the five gynaecological cancers. Work includes developing effective methods of risk prediction, earlier detection, and developing efficient screening.
Paul Harper, Commercial Director of Daish’s Holidays says: “In January this year we sadly bid farewell to our much-loved company founder, Mrs Jeanne Wilson, following her cancer diagnosis. The decision to take on the challenge of trekking Mount Snowdon to raise money for The Eve Appeal is testament to the remarkable work that the charity does, and the desire of the whole of the Daish’s team to support the charity as much as possible. We will brave the dark and whatever nature throws at us to raise as much as we can for this worthy cause.
“Darren, Benjamin, and I have adopted a strict training regime which sees us walking up to 30km each week in preparation for the feat. Albeit nervous, we’re very much looking forward to the challenge and supporting the wonderful work that The Eve Appeal undertakes.”
