In a demonstration of commitment and resilience, Leigh Day participated in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge to support Day One Trauma, a charity aiding those with major physical injuries.
- The challenge involved climbing three peaks: Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough within a demanding 12-hour timeframe.
- Despite adverse weather conditions, including heavy rain and poor visibility, the participants exhibited remarkable determination.
- The event raised £1,391, contributing significantly to Day One Trauma’s mission of supporting trauma victims.
- Participants were welcomed back to Horton-in-Ribblesdale with well-deserved refreshments, celebrating their collective achievement.
Leigh Day showcased their dedication to aiding individuals affected by significant physical trauma by taking part in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge. This effort was directed towards raising funds for Day One Trauma, an organisation that aids those impacted by severe injuries in rebuilding their lives. Leigh Day’s involvement aligns with the mission of many personal injury solicitors committed to providing support beyond legal advice.
The challenge required participants to climb Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, covering a strenuous 40 km circuit with elevations exceeding 5,000 feet, all within a single day. The conditions tested the limits of each participant, involving steep climbs and risky descents under challenging weather circumstances. However, their collective resolve did not waver as they battled both natural elements and physical exhaustion to complete their journey.
The organisation of the event by Day One Trauma, with assistance from Overlimits, was met with tremendous gratitude. This initiative not only serves as a fundraising activity but also as a testament to the resilience and spirit of cooperation among participants. With the Leigh Day team succeeding in raising £1,391, the funds will aid in providing essential services to trauma patients, including legal advice, welfare guidance, and peer support.
Bethany Sanders, head of Leigh Day’s Leeds office, expressed the significance of their participation. She remarked, “Taking part in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge was an incredible experience for our team. It was not just about reaching the finish line, but about supporting an organisation providing essential services to those who have suffered major trauma.” Her words underscore the dedication towards supporting Day One Trauma’s invaluable work.
Day One Trauma was established to bridge the gap between medical treatment and the broader impacts of life-changing injuries, offering services such as benefits and welfare advice, peer support, and connections to legal services. The charity plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life for trauma victims across England and Wales, with the support of companies like Leigh Day enabling further reach and impact.
