D2’s Information Management Team Charity Hike

On Saturday 15^th July 2023, our D2’s Information Management team took on the challenge of completing an 11 mile hike in the Peak District to raise money for Marie Curie . Rebecca Mercer, Sarah Lomax, and Clare Haigh accompanied by some family members Scott Lomax and Kelvin Harvey, tackled the Lathkill Loop, which dives into the steep-sided gulley of the Lathkill reserve and along the babbling River Bradford, before cutting across the rolling fields back towards Monyash!

The team came across extreme weather conditions along the hike but continued on with the trek. Although they were last team out and bad weather conditions ahead, they managed to dig deep and with an immense amount of determination, they managed to be the first team back. The team were told that on a good day, hikers would complete the hike in 5 hours, yet they managed to complete it just shy of 4hrs and 30 minutes which included a lunch stop and stops to change into waterproofs.

The Information Management team have a JustGiving page open for anyone who would like to donate. All donations are greatly appreciated and helps fund the amazing work of Marie Curie supporting terminally ill patients.
