Mark Dethick, general manager at Bristol Street Motors SEAT/CUPRA Derby, and sales executive Andrew Lawrence will take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on 6 April to raise money for Dementia UK.
The charity provides specialist support for families affected by dementia. The cause is close to Lawrence’s heart following the recent passing of his grandmother due to the disease.
He said: “Dementia UK is a charity that means a great deal to me. Losing my nan to dementia was incredibly tough, and I want to do something to honour her memory while helping others facing similar challenges.
“Taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is no small task but knowing it will support such an important cause makes it all the more worthwhile.”
The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest mountains in Yorkshire — Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough — within 12 hours.
Dethick added: “We’re both excited and a little nervous about the challenge ahead, but we’re determined to complete it for such a fantastic cause.
“Dementia UK does incredible work, and we hope to raise as much as possible to support their specialist nurses, who provide invaluable assistance to families affected by dementia.”
