Dental team completes 16-mile charity walk

The Mydentist Newark team raised £1,455 for the charity, surpassing its target amount.

Jamal Alvaranga, practice manager, said, “The sense of fulfilment was second to none once we crossed that line. It was quite the trek, with rough terrains, constantly changing weather and a few farm animals keeping us on our toes! But we wouldn’t have changed it for the world. Cancer has touched us all individually and so, we all felt passionate and motivated to complete this challenge for Cancer Research UK. We are all over the moon that we achieved what we set out to do, and more.”

Speaking on how the team prepared for the walk, Jamal added, “We prepared for the 16-mile hike by ensuring we completed plenty of practise walks beforehand and making sure everyone’s walking boots were worn in. The team’s strong communication skills proved invaluable before and during the walk and we all made sure we kept each other going through the tougher moments. Our teamwork skills were really tested but we made sure we kept spirits high with plenty of snacks and of course, suncream!”
