Ben team aims to raise £300k scaling Kilimanjaro

A team have just returned victorious from the summit of Kilimanjaro, having raised almost £200,000 for automotive industry charity, Ben to date.

There is still further to climb to reach the £300,000 fundraising target, so Ben is now calling for final donations.

Last week, Ben’s explorers took on a six-day expedition known as the ‘ILC The Climb’ where they scaled 5,985m-high Kilimanjaro.

Taking part were Adrian Wallington and Clive McGregor of Marshall Motor Group and James Tordoff representing his uncle, John Tordoff and Andy Bateman of JCT600.

The team also included Ben’s own Matt Wigginton and Zara Ross; Andy Hamilton and Anthony McAteer at LKQ Euro Car Parts; Neil Grant and Spencer Grinham, Hella; Rachael Prasher and Jim Holder, Haymarket; and Leon Bosch and Joel Combes, Lawgistics.

The fundraising total is still climbing – if you’d like to make a donation to celebrate this huge achievement, click here. All funds raised will help Ben support automotive people who are struggling or in crisis.

The physically and mentally challenging ILC adventure was designed to fundraise £300,000 for Ben’s life-saving work in the automotive community, providing vital support to those facing life’s toughest challenges and who are struggling with their mental and physical health or wellbeing.
