Mayflex Walks for Dementia

7th June 2025, Mayflex, a leading distributor of infrastructure, networking and IP security solutions, proudly participated in an Ultra Challenge for the fifth consecutive time, raising vital funds for the Alzheimer’s Society.

This year’s challenge saw a dedicated team of Mayflex associates and retirees take on a rugged terrain of the Lake District.  Amanda Griffiths (Director of Sales – Projects and Internal Security), Tracey Kernaghan (Marketing Manager) and retired Finance Manager Lyn Gale, tackled the demanding 50km Ultra Challenge.  Meanwhile Liz Evans (Internal Strategic Account Director) and retired Finance Director, Margaret Butterfield completed the equally tough 29KM route.

Reflecting on the experience, Tracey Kernaghan commented “This was one of the toughest challenges we’ve faced.  The day began with torrential rain, turning stony paths into fast-flowing streams. The first 29KM were brutal, with steep climbs and treacherous descents.    Thankfully, the weather improved later, and we enjoyed a scenic walk around Lake Windermere. We completed the 50KM in just over 12 hours - and stayed blister-free!.  Liz and Margaret may have had a shorter distance, but they certainly faced the most challenging section of the route.”

Tracey continued “We take on these challenges to raise money for dementia research and support. Sadly Amanda, Liz and I have each lost a parent to this devasting disease.  We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported us.  So far, we’ve raised £5519 including gift aid – and there’s still time to donate.

Tracey concluded “At Mayflex, we’re proud of our culture of giving back.   Our associates regularly raise funds for a variety of worthy causes, and the company supports these efforts not only financially but also by giving each employee one day a year to volunteer for a local cause or charity.  It’s a meaningful way we can all make a difference in our communities.”
