WR Davies Nissan staff take on triple Snowdon trek for children’s cancer charity
Sales manager Chris Powell and sales executive Leigh Burnham will ascend Snowdon three times in a single day to raise £2,000 for CCPA Stafford, a local childhood cancer charity.
Two members of staff from WR Davies Nissan in Stafford are preparing to take on a uniquely gruelling version of the Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for a local charity supporting children diagnosed with cancer.
Chris Powell, sales manager at WR Davies Nissan Stafford, and Leigh Burnham, sales executive, will climb Snowdon – or Yr Wyddfa – not once but three times on Saturday, 21st June. The endurance feat, dubbed ‘Three Peaks in One’, will see the pair cover 25 miles and ascend more than 3,000 metres in total.
Instead of travelling across the UK to tackle the traditional highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales, the duo will remain in North Wales and repeatedly summit the country’s tallest mountain – a challenge expected to take around 17 hours.
All funds raised will go to Childhood Cancer Parents Alliance (CCPA Stafford), which offers vital support and care to families in Staffordshire affected by childhood cancer.
Chris Powell said: “The main reason we chose a Staffordshire charity was because we wanted to do something for the local community. Tackling Snowdon three times should take us around 17 hours and I must admit it’s quite a daunting prospect.
“After chatting to representatives of CCPA Stafford, however, and finding out about the incredible work they do, Leigh and I became even more determined to crack on and complete the challenge we have set ourselves.
“CCPA Stafford provides essential care and support to children in Staffordshire diagnosed with cancer. These young people face unimaginably tough journeys that they embark on step by step. The least we can do is take a few steps of our own – one foot in front of the other – in their honour.
“This isn’t just about climbing a mountain. It’s about standing with families in Stafford, Cannock and neighbouring towns and villages, who need hope, help and healing. All donations will directly support the work of CCPA Stafford, funding emotional care, family support, transport to treatment, and much more for children facing cancer in our region. We hope as many people as possible will support us and help us hit our £2,000 target.”
