In an inspiring move to support two young girls battling hair loss due to cancer treatment and alopecia, senior staff members from AJS Scaffolding are participating in the gruelling Lakeside Ultra Challenge this weekend.
The initiative aims to raise funds to provide custom-made wigs for the girls, helping to restore their confidence and bring a bit of joy into their lives.
The Lakeside Ultra Challenge is no small feat, demanding participants to complete a 100-kilometer course on foot with an overall climb of 2500 meters, all against the clock to secure a bonus. Despite the challenge, the participants have covered all their own fees and accommodation costs, amounting to hundreds of pounds each, highlighting their dedication to the cause.
Several businesses have already shown their support by pledging funds to be released upon the completion of the challenge. Notable commitments have come from Reactive Scaffold and MSC Consultants. Additionally, other companies, including EMTECH Group, CNS, and Northern Scaffolding, have generously contributed in advance.
The organisers are reaching out for further support from the community and businesses alike. They encourage donations, even as small as £5.00, to help them reach their goal. Donations can be made through their JustGiving page: Support the Lakeside Ultra Challenge.
Little Lady Locks, the charity benefiting from this initiative, is dedicated to providing high-quality wigs for children experiencing hair loss. More information about their work can be found on their website: Little Lady Locks.
This heartwarming effort by AJS Scaffolding not only highlights the compassion and community spirit within the company but also serves as a powerful reminder of the difference that collective efforts can make in the lives of those facing tough challenges.
