Two caring colleagues have made strides to help the fight against dementia by tackling four of the UK's highest peaks.

Sheena Umanee and Ben Perkins have raised £3,000 for the Alzheimer's Society through their part in the Lake District Four Peaks Challenge.

The three-day trek saw them climbing Skiddaw, Scafell Pike, Scafell and Helvellyn - all of which are over 3,000 feet high.

They were amongst charity walkers from all over the UK who helped raise £30,000 for the society during the event.

Sheena and Ben decided to support the Alzheimer 's Society because of their contact with the organisation during their work with Pentlepoir-based Care in Hand, which is one of Pembrokeshire's largest domiciliary care and nursing companies.

Company manager Sheena and care co-ordinator Ben were joined on their mission by Sheena's brother Emmett Dunne, who is a farmer in Ireland.

Their five months of training paid off, with the trio completing every stage of the trek, reaching the summits in 40mph winds and temperatures of minus two

Said Sheena: The trek really was a challenge, with very tough parts to it, but our group had such great team spirit that there was no chance that we were going to be allowed to chicken out.

"Not only did we manage to complete the Four Peaks and raise £3,000 for the Alzheimer's Society, but we met some fantastic people. It was an all-round amazing experience."
