Dorset funeral director to scale Scafell Pike
Nick Douch is to climb the highest mountain in England to raise funds for Wimborne and St Lucia Rotary clubs.
Nick Douch who runs Douch Family Funeral Directors, is to climb the highest mountain in England to raise money for charities his late father Peter supported.
He is also taking his wife Donna and daughters Lakeisha and Tamika to the summit of Scafell Pike in the Lake District.
The family are raising money for the Rotary clubs of Wimborne, and St Lucia in the Caribbean.
Peter, who met his wife in St Lucia and was chairman of the family business until shortly before he died last year, was active in both Rotary clubs and they are the business’s charity for the year.
Scafell Pike is 3,209ft high and takes three-to-four hours to climb – and on average two people die each year attempting it.
Nick said: “Colleagues have done some wonderful fundraising to support the two Rotary clubs and I was keen to do something with my family.
“We have climbed several peaks before but we’ve never attempted the highest in the country, which will be quite a task.
“However, we’ll be motivated by the thought that we’ll be raising money for two good causes.”
