John Priest and Barry Buglass, who both work at the SCA Prudhoe Mill, have raised £1,800 for Cancer Research.
The duo took on the three peaks challenge, climbing Scafell Pike, Snowdon and Ben Nevis to raise the money.
John and Ben decided to complete the challenge after regularly walking together to improve their fitness. Both men have family and friends who have been affected by cancer, so they decided to walk for charity.
But they were astounded to find that their total amount raised was double their expected target.
John, an SCA RST maintenance leader, who lives in Prudhoe, said: “Cancer Research UK is a really good charity and we wanted to help the important work it does.
“It is thanks to the generous donations we’ve received from family, friends, and colleagues through our JustGiving website and a £600 donation from the company’s charity committee that we managed to raise more than we ever imagined.
“We’re extremely grateful to everyone who has supported us.
“It was a tough challenge, but the weather was kind and the scenery was fantastic.”
Treasurer and acting chairman of the Wylam Cancer Research group, Ken John, and Hazel Haggith, a volunteer with the charity for over 30 years, joined John and Barry at SCA Prudhoe Mill to receive the donation.
