Climbing Mountains for a Cause: Storage Systems Limited Supports Barretstown

On Saturday, May 25th, a determined team from Storage Systems Limited laced up their boots and took to the trails for the 11th annual Barretstown Dublin Mountains Challenge—a charity event that raises funds to support children living with serious illness.

This inspiring event offered two route options:

• A 24km trek from Tallaght Stadium to Three Rock/Ticknock Forest
• A more challenging 42km route finishing at Brady’s Pub in Shankill

Both routes wound through the stunning Dublin Mountains and were as rewarding as they were tough. And our team rose to the challenge—divided into three enthusiastic groups.

Our Teams – Team Building at Its Best

Beyond the physical effort, this event proved to be a fantastic team-building experience. From preparing and planning, to encouraging each other along the trails, the camaraderie on the day was outstanding.
Walking side by side (and up a few hills!) gave everyone a chance to bond, challenge themselves, and build memories that will last long after the blisters heal.

Group 1
Led by Captain Ellen Lopes, this crew took on the challenge with energy and enthusiasm. Team members included Monalisa Rosa, Jose Junior, and Vicky K.

Group 2
With Captain Graham Scanlan at the helm, this team featured Grainne Kennedy, Bernie Grant, and Michelle Davitt—all walking in step for a great cause.

Group 3
Made up of Niall Rock, Kieran Mitchell, and Terence Hynes, this team took on the mountains with quiet determination and strong teamwork.

Together, these three teams walked over 300 kilometres and played a proud part in making the day a huge success.

€6,177 Raised – and Counting!

We’re thrilled to share that Storage Systems Limited raised an incredible €6,177 as part of this year’s Dublin Mountains Challenge, contributing to the event’s total of €102,900 raised—smashing the original €100,000 target.

Every euro goes toward Barretstown’s life-changing therapeutic programmes, which bring confidence, joy, and healing to children and families facing serious illness. It’s a cause that means a great deal to us.
