Charity team set to conquer one of the UK’s highest mountains

On Saturday, September 15, volunteers from Dental Health Spa, the Oral Health Foundation, Swiss Dental Academy, TePe and others, will be supporting the Moveit4smiles charity initiative by taking on the intimidating challenge in the Lake District.

Moveit4smiles is an oral health group made up of volunteers from across dentistry. The aim is to get active while raising money to help raise awareness of mouth cancer.

Funds raised by the team will be donated to Mouth Cancer Action and HPV Action.

Moveit4smiles spokespersons, Christina Chatfield, spoke about the challenge ahead of the team, “At seven miles long, Striding Edge may not be the longest walk but with it has incredibly high levels of exposure on narrow rocky ridges, the journey will present big challenges for our team.

“We are taking the Helvellyn route. The hike takes around six hours and will see us reach summits of more than 3,000 feet.

“All money raised goes to an excellent cause – to raise awareness about mouth cancer.
