42,000 feet, 42 peaks - £2,000
21st June 2016

Two DEMPSEY DYER employees have completed the formidable 42 Peaks Challenge, raising over £2,000 for Brain Tumour Research in the process.

Commercial sales manager, Martyn Wright led a team of four, including colleague Anthony Ryder, on the trek in memory of Martyn’s dad Ron Wright, who died of a brain tumour in 2005 aged just 58. The team scaled some of the Lake District’s most rugged terrain and climbed a total of 28,000ft - the equivalent of Mount Everest.

“The challenge was very physically demanding – we managed to cover over 66 miles in just three days - but we enjoyed every minute and we’re delighted to raise funds for a very worthy cause,” said Martyn.

“I took on the challenge in memory of my dad, who I lost through the disease. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under the age of 40, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research is allocated to curing this devastating condition.”

Peter Dyer, Dempsey Dyer MD added: “I’m incredibly proud of Martyn, Ant and the rest of the team for taking on such a gruelling challenge, and raising money for a fantastic cause. I’d encourage everyone to visit Martyn’s Just Giving page and make a donation. I know how much he’ll appreciate any amount, large or small.”
