Jonathan Holmes, Yasmin Miles, Emma Hammond and Dave Kenward from TMS Group, Torquay are relaxing after tackling the biggest physical and mental challenge of their lives – climbing the ’s three highest mountains in a bid to raise funds for the Meningitis Trust – all in just 36 hours!!

The Three Peaks Challenge, which hopes to raise over £30,000 for the Trust, saw the TMS Summit Team tackle the heights of Snowdon in (1,085 metres), Scafell Pike in (the baby of the challenge at just 978 metres) and Ben Nevis in , the ’s highest mountain at 1,134 metres.

Jonathan Holmes, Property Director says: “Meningitis is a devastating disease that can strike anyone at any age without warning. The signs are often difficult to spot because early on they can be like those of colds and flu. Knowing the symptoms not only saves lives but can also help prevent the after-affects that meningitis can cause.”

“We all wanted to tackle this challenge and raise money to help the Meningitis Trust so that it can continue to provide long-term support for those affected by meningitis. Taking part in the Three Peaks Challenge has been an incredible experience and a great way to make a difference!”
