Trusted Tech owner takes on Three Peaks Challenge in 24 hours to raise money for charity
Thursday 4th May, 2023
The director of an IT business has helped to raise £1,500 for charity by taking on the Three Peaks Challenge in just 24 hours.
Adrian (Ady) Tubb of Trusted Tech in Heron Way, Newham,
joined a group of six friends to scale Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in Cumbria
and Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) in Wales.
The challenge earlier this month was organised to raise
funds for two Cornish organisations.
Ex-forces Ady was raising funds for forces veteran-led Active
Plus, which provides teamwork and leadership for businesses in Devon and
Cornwall. Ady’s teammate, Matt Tidball, director of Blackrock Fire and Security solutions in Falmouth, took on the challenge in aid of Man Down, a peer
support group for men with mental health issues.
Ady, who spent 10 years in the Royal Signals before building
his IT business, said it was a fantastic but full-on weekend.
“It felt great to get it done,” said Ady, adding that it was
tough going in places. Six people started out on the challenge but two had to
drop out through injury.
“We had to do some of it in the pitch black with our head
torches on,” he said. “We couldn’t even see where the summit was.
“It was a challenge but if you’re not challenging yourself,
then it’s not worth doing. You feel this brilliant sense of achievement at the
end.”
Ady and his team would like to thank the sponsors and
everyone that has donated so far.
