Canary Wharf Security Team
Takes on the National Three Peaks Challenge
Proudly Sponsored by Dakin Security Services Ltd
On Friday 26th September, a group
of determined individuals from Canary Wharf Security Team will be taking on the
formidable National Three Peaks Challenge — climbing the highest mountains in Scotland
(Ben Nevis – 4,413 ft), England (Scafell Pike – 3,209 ft), and Wales (Snowdon –
3,560 ft) — all within 24 hours.
That’s 23 miles of rugged terrain,
over 10,000 feet of ascent, and hundreds of miles of travel.
Why We’re Doing It
This challenge will be a
wonderful team-building exercise and a great test of endurance. Beyond strengthening our team, however, we are
undertaking this challenge to raise funds for two incredible causes that are
deeply personal to our team — causes that have touched the lives of our
colleagues and friends.
Lymphoma Action UK
Lymphoma Action provides trusted
information and support to people affected by lymphoma — the UK’s most common
blood cancer. This was made even more personal when the partner of our colleague,
Rhys, was diagnosed with Lymphoma last year.
Regarding their experience in
receiving support from Lymphoma Action UK, Rhys said, “When my wife Mia was
diagnosed with lymphoma last year, Lymphoma Action became a lifeline. Their
resources helped us stay informed and hopeful during the darkest times. Their
support made it possible for us to face the unknown with strength and even humour.
I can’t recommend them highly enough.”
We are honoured to be able to raise funds for a charity that provided such a high level of support to our colleague and his family.
The Royal Anglian Regiment
Charity – In Support of Martin ‘Nobby’ Alderson
We are also raising funds through
the Royal Anglian Regiment Charity to support our friend and former colleague,
Martin ‘Nobby’ Anderson.
Martin is a decorated veteran and
former police officer who suffered a catastrophic stroke in October 2023 that
left him with locked-in syndrome. After 20 months of hospitalisation and
rehabilitation, Martin is finally home — but still without the means to leave
it.
His family has worked tirelessly
to adapt their home, but now they need help funding a powered wheelchair and adapted
vehicle so Martin can regain his independence and reconnect with the world he
served so selflessly.
“Martin’s mind is as sharp as ever, but without mobility, he’s now locked inside his home. Your support can help give him back the freedom he fought to protect for others.”
How You Can Help
We have a goal of raising £10,000
in total to be split between these two life-changing charities. With your help,
we can achieve this and more. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us
closer to our goal. Whether you’re inspired by the physical challenge, the
causes, or the people behind them — we’d be incredibly grateful for your
support.
Thank you for supporting us and the charities that mean so much to us.
