Onwards and upwards for Penta recruiter

Not only is Ben Alexander a Team Leader in Pentaís Permanent Division but he is also the Team Leader of group attempting the Three Peaks 24 hour Challenge in aid of the Geoff Thomas Foundation www.geoffthomasfoundation.org. For the uninitiated thatís Ben Nevis at 4,409 ft, Mount Snowdon at 3,560 ft and Scarfell Pike at a mere 3,209 ft. The challenge in June includes over 30 miles on the mountains and also over 500 miles driving.

Ben is taking part with three friends and is personally aiming to raise over 500, a figure that Penta www.pentaconsulting.com will double. The money from this challenge will go towards funding blood cancer nurses at six hospitals across the country.

Geoff Thomas, who started the GTF after he survived leukaemia, said: ìBen is attempting an incredibly tough challenge and will need all the spirit, strength and endurance he can muster to get through it. I am so grateful that he is raising funds for the GTF because blood cancer patients in the UK need all the help they can get. I know how hard it is to battle against cancer and he should be proud of himself for having the guts to help people with this terrible illness.î

Ben comments: ìI am very excited about the challenge and really pleased to be supporting such an incredibly worthwhile charity. I am doing everything I can to get into good shape and just want to raise as much money as I can.î
