As part of its celebrations for GroceryAid Day (9 May) Pilgrim Foodservice is launching its fundraising mission as two of its team members announce their plans to tackle the Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for GroceryAid.
The duo from the Boston, Lincolnshire wholesale business, are aiming to raise £15,000 for GroceryAid, a charity that helps people across the grocery industry in times of need. Pilgrim Foodservice’s and CJ Butchers’ Strategy Director Jenni Holgate and Head of Procurement Karen Hamlyn will begin their epic journey, known as the Three Peaks Pilgrimage, on Friday 9 August.
Starting with the ascent of Scotland’s iconic and the UK’s tallest mountain, Ben Nevis, towering at 1,345 meters above sea level, they will then tackle the formidable Scafell Pike on 10 August, before completing their journey with Snowdon the next day. This challenging 26-mile trek and a demanding climb of 10,000 feet will be a rigorous test of their physical and emotional strength.
Rachel Atkin, head of people for Pilgrim Foodservice and CJ Butchers, said: “Jenni and Karen are embarking on this incredible adventure with the backing and well wishes of their families, colleagues and friends as well as the entire GroceryAid community. With the funds raised being used to support colleagues within the grocery industry, they’ll have a real sense of purpose to carry them and help them push through the challenge. The whole Pilgrim family is incredibly proud of their endeavours and will be cheering them on all the way.”
