As part of its support for local charities seven members of staff from Yorkshire business telecoms provider, Intouch Advance, took part in a brace of physically demanding events to raise sponsorship for Bradford-based children's charity, One in a Million (OIAM).
Together with a previous activity undertaken by the CEO on his own, this month's efforts bring the company's sponsorship for OIAM to £8,174.91.
On 4th July the company's CEO Simon Pollard set out early at 4.30am with his team to tackle the Yorkshire 3-Peaks challenge.
Racing against a number of other leading regional companies, the challenge for the Intouch Advance 'Magnificent Seven' was to complete the three Yorkshire Peaks, Pen-y-Ghent (691m), Whernside (728m) and Ingleborough (723m) in 12 hours.
Polard said, "With a great local cause spurring us on this excellent team rose to the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge. We're proud to have been able to raise all the sponsorship we have and extremely grateful to all those who have helped surpass the target we expected to achieve."
A skydive challenge followed the week after. Company Head of Finance, Laura Barrass and Sales Director, Scott Walker, took part in a tandem free-fall skydive, harnessed to a BPA-qualified instructor during a one-minute descent.
Barrass said: "It was an amazing experience - nerve-racking going up but the jump was exhilarating!"
