120 teammates from Sunbelt Rentals have completed the 'Cumbrian Challenge' in the Lake District, raisingover £19,000 for the Walking With The Wounded veterans charity.
Now in its sixth year of participation, colleagues from across the business took on one of three routes: Peak: 14km, 13 teams, Tough: 20km, 9 teams, Tougher: 27km, 5 teams.
The Cumbrian Challenge brings participants together for a team-based event in the Lake District, raising funds to support veterans as they transition back into civilian life. Funds raised contribute to employment support, mental health services and care coordination.
“It’s been a privilege to lead such a committed and collaborative team at the Cumbrian Challenge. Working alongside Walking With The Wounded, colleagues have not only taken on a physical challenge but also made a meaningful contribution to a cause that truly matters – an achievement I’m incredibly proud of," said Leanne Casey, project lead at the Cumbrian Challenge.
“The support shown by Sunbelt Rentals throughout this year’s Cumbrian Challenge has been nothing short of outstanding. Not only did they come on board as headline sponsors, but they also brought an incredible 30 teams to the event and helped raise nearly £20,000 in support of veterans and their families across the UK," added Joel Oxberry, chief operating officer at Walking With The Wounded.
"Their energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the Armed Forces community was visible throughout the weekend, and we are hugely grateful for the partnership, generosity and team spirit they continue to show Walking With The Wounded.”
