BROTHERS
TAKE ON TRIPLE
CHALLENGES
Every year Merrill, Rob
and Darren Lynch, of Lynch
Plant Hire, challenge them-
selves to a ‘brothers Light-
house Day’ to raise money
for the Lighthouse Construc-
tion Industry Charity.
The charity provides fi-
nancial and welfare support
to those who are suffering
long term injury or illness
within the construction
sector.
And it seems that each
year, the challenges are get-
ting more and more physi-
cal and the training regimes
more gruelling.
Last year the three broth-
ers conquered the Yorkshire
three peaks, Pen-y-Ghent,
Whernside and Inglebor-
ough raising over £3,000
for the Lighthouse Club
charity.
The previous year saw
them complete a 12-mile
‘Tough Mudder’ challenge.
Billed as the world’s most
difficult obstacle race, they
made it to the finishing post
looking very muddy in just
three hours and 25 minutes
raising £5,000.
But this year sees the trio
take to the capital for the
ultimate physical challenge
when they compete in the
London marathon on 22
April.
Training is well underway
and the competitive streak
is already beginning to
show, even though Merrill
Lynch admitted at the Light-
house Christmas annual
lunch, “that he was a ‘little
bit’ behind in training com-
pared to his brothers”.
Merrill added: “Training
for a marathon requires
a lot of time, dedication
and mind over matter. But
as brothers, we motivate
each other to keep going,
especially knowing that we
are raising money for such
a great cause. As a company
and as individuals we have
been long term support-
ers of the Lighthouse Club
Charity and it is an amazing
feeling to support our con-
struction colleagues through
difficult times. We enjoy
the challenges and each
year they seem to get more
and more ambitious, but I
think we’ll get the marathon
completed before we think
about next year!”
As well as raising vital
funds for those in need in
the construction industry,
Merrill, Rob and Darren
dedicate their achievements
to their late mother Celia
Lynch who was a director of
Lynch Plant for 30 years.
