Nik's Three Peaks Climb for Maidenhead Shopmobility
Nik Huggins, a former Maidenhead Shopmobility employee, and four friends recently completed their Three Peaks Challenge raising more than £900 for the community service at the same time.
The Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) within 24 hours.
Nik said: "We made a few mistakes with the route on Scafell Pike and Barry sustained a knee injury but we are proud of our achievement and we all felt we had a thoroughly great adventure. We would definitely do it again."
All four are active hill climbers; however this was their first climb for a charitable cause.
Sue Gibson, Maidenhead Shopmobility manager, said: "The money raised is more than £900. As the cost of a new mobility scooter is £1,400 we are well on the way to replacing one of the scooters from our ageing fleet."
Shopmobility loans manual and powered wheelchairs and scooters to enable people with mobility difficulties to access the town centres in Windsor and Maidenhead.
