Staff at a Newcastle estate agents are lacing up their boots as they get ready to take on the "daunting" challenge of scaling England’s highest mountain.
Three members of staff from Groves estate agents in Jesmond will take on the 3,209ft high Scafell Pike later this month to raise funds for the Red Sky Foundation. The charity was founded by Sergio and Emma Petrucci to support the Children’s Heart Unit at Newcastle’s Freeman Hospital after their daughter underwent life-saving heart surgery in 2015.
Wendy Leonard, head of operations at Groves, is one of those taking part in the challenge. She said: “It’s quite a daunting prospect to conquer Scafell Pike but everyone involved is determined to reach the top and raise money for such a magnificent cause.”
