Halycon Software is sponsoring a team of 10 employees who will attempt the Three Peaks Challenge on 29 June 2012.

The annual challenge, a 3,000-metre climb up Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England and Snowdon in Wales, takes place over just 24 hours.

Donnie MacColl, technical services director at Halcyon Software and team leader for the event, said: “We are really excited about the event itself, but more importantly we are totally committed to raising funds for the three worthy charities we are supporting: SOS Children, Sue Ryder Care, and Peterborough and District Deaf Children's Society.”

Carole Chandler, sales and marketing director at Halcyon Software, added: “This event is encouraging real teamwork from the employees and we are confident that the funds raised for our nominated charities will be greatly received in these difficult economic times.”
