A Bournemouth-based recruitment firm raised over £7,000 for charity after using Bournemouth’s zigzags to scale the equivalent of Mount Everest.
The team from Holt Recruitment walked 8,849 metres to the ‘summit’ in aid of Home-Start Wessex.
Each year, staff push their limits for good causes.
Previous attempts have included a 24-hour marathon, a row around Britain and cycling the Tour de France.
This year’s Everest ‘ascent’ began at 8am. Within six hours every team member had conquered yet another Holt Challenge.
Even Harry Redknapp sent a message of support, wishing the team the very best for their charity walk.
Owner Stuart Holt said: “We did it!
“We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve completed our yearly charity challenge and raised a total of £7,230 for the incredible charity Home-Start Wessex.
“A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported us along the way, from generous donations to those who joined us on the day to cheer us on.
“For some of the team, it was the hardest thing they have ever done, going up and down the zigzags over 50 times.
“It was difficult, but I am incredibly proud of the team for persevering. The support we received made all the difference.
“Together, we’ve made a real impact in supporting families and children in need through Home-Start Wessex.
“Everyone’s contributions will go a long way in making a positive difference in our community.
“Despite some very sore legs and tired bodies, we’re overjoyed with our achievement and deeply honoured to have rallied support for this remarkable charity.”
Since 1995, Home-Start Wessex has helped over 3,500 local families and supported over 10,000 children in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and beyond.
It’s not too late to contribute to Holt Recruitment’s fundraising here.
