Update:- Success! - All members of both teams completed in under 24 hours - Tony's team, despite a broken exhaust pipe and traffic jams, in just over 23 hours, and Tim's team dividing up for the finish with times just under and over 23 hours.
The Challenge - On the 28/29th June 2003, teams from BCP and BGS, including all six members of the Beales family, will be attempting to climb all three of the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours.
Ben Nevis - Scafell Pike - Snowdon
9,700 feet ascent - 22 miles walking - 470 miles driving
The Beales team consists of Mum, Dad and 4 sons, with ages ranging from the wrong side of 50 down to 14. This team includes one BCP director, one Bury Grammar School teacher, 2 current BGS pupils and 2 BGS old boys. This three peaks challenge will push us to our limits - maybe beyond for some team members - but we promise to give it our best shot!
Tony has also badgered some brave colleagues into taking on the challenge and the BCP team details can be found here.
Why are we doing it? - To help fund Christie's cancer research. Sooner or later cancer affects almost all of us, whether as sufferers or through friends or family. Christie's research offers real hope for the future.
You can read how we plan to tackle the challenge here.
We would really appreciate your help. Sponsoring us online is an efficient way for us to raise funds, and if you are a UK taxpayer your donation will be increased by almost a third at no cost to you. But whichever way you decide to sponsor us -
Many thanks.
