Fusionworkshop have already started donating to the charity and plan to take part in a number of fundraising events, potentially involving over 20 employees. MD, Chris has already made a start and took part in the Abergavenny Three Peaks Trial. He followed this a few weeks later and completed The Black Mountains Roundabout on the 17th of April. This is an arduous Mountain Marathon of 26 miles and takes in the highest points in the Black Mountains in South Wales. It involves around 7,000ft of ascent and checkpoints have time limits which are challenging.

“the toughest part was reaching the checkpoint at the 20 mile mark which involved running most of the way from the previous checkpoint, straight after the checkpoint - THE WALL!, 1,900ft straight up to Pen Allt Mawr, exhausting, but once up it is a relatively easy run for five miles back to Crickhowell”
