Four members of staff from CN Chartered Accountants completed Born Survivor last weekend to raise money for the Stockport Business Awards Charity Partner, Mentell.

CN Chartered Accountants are the founders, organisers and headline sponsors for the business awards and each year a local charity is chosen to gain any proceeds from the evening. However, this year the team at the Stockport-based accountancy firm decided to raise a little bit more money for the charity by participating in Born Survivor.

Georgia Hilton, Graham Travis, Ellie Jones and Chris Roche trekked through mud and over obstacles to complete the 6KM obstacle course on Saturday morning. The 4 members raised over £500 for the charity, which offers safe spaces for men to go and talk (or listen) about issues they are having.

For more information about Mentell and the fantastic work they are doing, visit their website.
