Two leading ladies at Corinium Care are lacing up their boots and preparing to climb Ben Nevis by moonlight.
Preparing for Ben Nevis: Rachel, left, and Clare |
Neither have climbed a mountain before and hope to raise £500 on August 30.
“With an increasing number of our clients suffering from Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia we were keen to help raise awareness of this devastating condition. And we are aware that the Alzheimer’s Society does a very good job,” said Clare.
Both women enjoy keeping fit when they’re not working at the live-in care agency in Nailsworth.
Rachel lost more than three stone when she hit her 50th birthday and has kept fit ever since – as well as preparing for Ben Nevis, she is also training for her second triathlon.
Clare goes running twice a week with a local running club.
“We’re looking forward to seeing the sunrise at the summit and walking down to a good breakfast,” she said.
