J S Wright lakes challengers raise £5,000 for Molly Ollys

JS Wright Lakes Challengers

Intrepid team members from Birmingham building services provider J S Wright have raised more than £5,000 for their adopted charity after completing an epic challenge in the Lake District.

Twenty-six staff and three suppliers tested their fitness, commitment and determination by taking part in the Lakes Triple Challenge in aid of Warwick-based Molly Ollys, which cares for children with life-threatening illnesses.

They cycled through the trails of Grizedale forest, trekked to the summit of the 803-metre-high Old Man of Coniston and kayaked across Coniston Water, one of the UK’s largest lakes, covering more than 24 miles over an eight-hour period. Staff from J S Wright and its sister company Wright Maintenance have now raised more than £7,000.

Molly Ollys provides emotional and financial support, where appropriate, to children throughout the UK with terminal and life-threatening illnesses.
