Pulse three-peaks charity climb success!

Pulse Marketing may have set its sights high with an ambitious charity climb – but the participants came good for the chosen children’s charities and the £10,000 target was met.

Pulse’s Mike Beatty and Andy Jones joined seven other climbers, including CEDIA’s Matt Nimmons, in climbing three of the UK’s highest mountains - in just 24 hours!

The feat took in the mountain scenery of Ben Nevis (1344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (1085m) - a challenge comprising in excess of 11,000ft of climbing, over 20 miles of walking, plus over 500 miles of driving!

Every penny raised is going to Edukid, a special children’s charity, One Voice, an anti slavery charity, and the Teenage Cancer Trust. Pulse Marketing contributed towards costs for the trip (car rental, petrol, subsistence), as well as promoting the recently built group charity website (www.nothingandeverything.co.uk) to the press.

Contributions are still being sought via sponsorship of the nothingandeverything.co.uk website, set up by a group of nine cause-conscious friends - many of them from the AV industry - to raise money for worthy causes while at the same time ‘pushing the individuals involved beyond what they thought possible’. The friends visited Uganda last year, as part of the Edukid programme, and are asking for donations from companies or individuals to support this year’s climbs, and the three charities - in return for which all sponsors will appear on the site.

“We’re asking the industry to help us all to reach our target for these really deserving charities, while we push ourselves to go beyond what we first thought was possible!” said Beatty ahead of the climb. “Pledge what you or your company can afford and we’ll put your name or company name and logo in the sponsorship area on nothingandeverything.co.uk. Thanks!”
