Director of DJH’s Altrincham office Candice Beynon is set to take on Mount Kilimanjaro in September to raise money for charity.
Beynon, who has been with the firm since 1996, will attempt to scale Africa’s tallest mountain to help raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society.
She has already begun her training in preparation for the hike that is self-funded, to ensure every penny raised will go directly to the charity. She will fly to Tanzania on 20 September, along with a challenger charity company, and has 6 days set aside to climb the 5,895m (19,340ft) mountain.
Speaking about the challenge, Beynon said: “Those who know me well will know that hiking is my biggest passion – to sum me up I am never happier than when going up a hill!
“For many years, it’s been a dream of mine to climb Kilimanjaro, and whilst this will be a personal bucket list achievement, I am raising money for a cause very close to my heart and in memory of my wonderful, beautiful Auntie Liz.”
She continued: “On the 20 September, I’ll be fulfilling a dream and the money raised will help work towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.”
Scott Heath, CEO at DJH, added: “Community is one of our core values, and it’s incredibly important to us as a business that we actively support our team to give back, encouraging our team to raise funds for charity. It is fantastic to see Candice taking on such an incredible challenge. We’ll be cheering her on from the UK.”
