Software Entrepreneur Gears Up For Nevis Trek

A Derby based entrepreneur plans to tackle Ben Nevis, in a bid to raise money for the Alzheimers charity so close to his heart.

Sean Price, managing director of software and web design agency, iBox-Security, is preparing to lace up his hiking boots on June 19 and trek through the night, to reach the summit at sunrise the next day, with a group of other fundraisers from The Alzheimers Society.

Sean said: “I used to sit on the board of a nursing home in Dorset called Abbeyfield Blackmore Vale Care Home. Through my work at the home, I have seen first hand what a debilitating disease that Alzheimers can be.

“More research needs to be done into this disease, which effects over 850, 000 people in the UK alone. The Alzheimers Society does some fantastic work, and more local businesses should pledge to support them- Especially as 42,000 sufferers being diagnosed, are still of working age.”

Originally setting himself a fundraising target of £400, the sponsorships have kept rolling in, and he has already smashed his initial goal, by raising over £590. He now aims to raise £1000 for the charity.

Sean added: “The support so far has been amazing, and I cannot thank the people who have already donated, enough. To have already surpassed my original target is unbelievable.”
