In June 2026, Creative Triangle teammates Beth Somi, Carys McInnes and Gareth Watts will be taking on the adventure of a lifetime and facing their fears with Challenge the Wild in the breath-taking Lake District, all while raising vital funds for Hope Against Cancer.
The team are following in the footsteps of two of the organisation’s Founding Directors, Joanne McBean and Carolyn King, who completed the challenge in 2022, continuing the agency’s commitment not only to creative excellence, but also to community and social responsibility.
Beth says:
"Back in April 2006, my stepdad became ill. Initially Archie’s diagnosis was diabetes until eventually he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He died only three months later. I want to do everything I can do to help raise money for early diagnosis, treatment and end of life support to help other families. It is the fear of the unknown that scares me most!"
Carys says:
"After attending many Hope business lunches and hearing so many inspirational stories, I really wanted to take on this challenge to support the charity… and it’s also a great excuse to escape my three kids for a little while! My biggest challenges will definitely be heights and confined spaces, but I’m hoping the experience, the cause we’re supporting, and doing it as a CT team will help push me out of my comfort zone.”
Gareth says:
"This is a great opportunity to push myself to experience these amazing outdoor activities with my teammates, whilst also raising funds and awareness for the amazing work done by Hope Against Cancer. I’m taking part in support of my family and friends who have been impacted by cancer."
Thank you for your support!
