Earlier this month, Steve
and Sophie from the Brewers marketing team took on unbelievable personal
challenges, all in the name of raising money for causes they are passionate
about. We spoke to Steve and Sophie to find out more!
Steve Scales Snowdon!
Steve Wallis successfully climbed Mount Snowdon (North Wales),
via Crib Goch. Steve, a trained mentor volunteer, for the charity A Band of
Brothers (ABOB) made the ascent with 18 members of the ABOB team plus three
qualified mountaineers.
Crib Goch is a Grade 1 scramble with a ‘knife edge’ ridge andsevere drops on both sides.
It peaks at 923 metres and, once completed, there are a couple of vertical climbs to tackle before heading to Snowdon (1,085 metres).
In total, ten miles was covered, totalling 38,000 steps!
Steve said: ‘Though a really tough climb, it was an absolutely
brilliant experience, and, to date, we have raised over £2,200 for the
charity.’
A Band of Brothers work with young men, who are either caught up in the criminal justice system or are vulnerably housed.
Each young man referred to ABOB is paired with a fully trained volunteer mentor.
These mentors
work closely with the 18–25-year-olds to address their core issues and guide
them towards leading lives that are both personally fulfilling and beneficial
to the community.

A Mammoth Walk For Little Paws
Earlier this year Marketing Executive, Sophie Bousfield, decided to set herself a goal to challenge her and give her a target to work towards.
When she came across the South Coast Ultra Challenge: a 100km continuous walk
from Eastbourne to Arundel, she decided to give it a go.
Here’s her story:
“I’d never attempted anything like this before, but the idea of
taking on such a demanding event really appealed to me, and I thought: why not
go all out!”
“I chose to raise money for Dogs Trust, a charity close to my
heart as a lifelong dog lover. Training was tough but rewarding, I discovered
new parts of the county and often had my dog by my side.”
“The event itself took me 22 hours, 26 minutes, and 18 seconds,
which I was chuffed by, considering I set myself a goal of completing it within
24 hours!”
“I set off at around 7am on Saturday 6th September and crossed the finish line at about 5:30am the following morning. Overnight was the most gruelling.
Pitch black, completely silent and not being able to see any further
than what the head torch was revealing for me.”
“It became as much a mental battle as a physical one.
Crossing
that line after nearly a full day on my feet is something I’ll never forget —
it showed me how much determination and strength I really had inside (or maybe
proving just how stubborn I am…), but also how rewarding it feels to achieve
something so challenging.”
“It’s left me eager for more. I’m already looking into what
challenge I can take on next!”
