Hikers raise £2,000 for cancer charity

A FOUR-strong team from award-winning Warrington PR and social media agency, No Brainer raised more than £2,000 for a leading cancer charity after tackling a gruelling 26.5 mile hike.
Director Gary Jenkins, news and content manager Steve Bland, account manager Lauren Pritchard and account executive Hannah Jones battled rain, high winds and testing terrain to complete the Macmillan Mighty Hike in the Peak District in under 11 hours.
The money raised will go to a cause close to one of the hiker’s hearts.
Steve’s wife Rachael was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2016, and, after undergoing several rounds of treatment, the couple were told earlier this year that the disease had spread and was incurable.
Steve said: “It was both emotionally and physically very tiring.
“But it was an incredible experience and I’m really proud that we all finished the walk and so glad that we were able to raise so much money for a fantastic charity that does amazing work.
“Our clients, friends and families have all been so supportive in helping us raise so much money and I know we’d all like to thank everyone who donated.”
More than 1,500 fundraisers took on the Mighty Hike, which took the No Brainer team from Darley Moor, near Ashbourne, to Bakewell, in Derbyshire.
