Sophie Paterson,  Senior Recruitment Consultant at Jenrick Commercial successfully completed the very gruelling course, otherwise known as the Grim8 Night Terror Challenge on the evening of Saturday 4th February (in the snow!!), raising £550 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Here is Sophie’s account of her experience of the Grim8 Night Terror Run:

So we arrived in Aldershot at about 5.00pm on Saturday, the snow heavens had all ready opened and it was coming down thick and fast (slightly horizontal too).  It was freezing, but we made it onto the start line with only a little bit of moaning!

On the start line they informed us they had cut out the deep water parts because they were frozen solid and the health and safety risk was apparently too high!  As they announced this at the start line it was met with a massive BOO from the crowd.  I have to say despite the snow and how cold I was, I was quite disappointed we weren’t going through the deep water parts…

Congratulations to Sophie Paterson of Jenrick Commercial who is the latest winner of The Jenrick Experience, a popular wellbeing initiative at Jenrick.

For a long time, Sophie has loved wakeboarding but has always wanted to brush up on her skills and learn some new extreme tricks that she can show off to all her family and friends.

Sophie entered the Jenrick Experience asking if she could get some secret professional wakeboarding lessons to help her become a pro! And now that her name has been picked out of the hat she can now make this dream a reality.

Here’s what Sophie wrote for her entry:

To set the scene…..nearly every week-end in the summer I spend my days at a lake in Yateley, Hampshire where Chris (boyfriend) and his brother (Phil) own a jet ski and where we all wakeboard.
