Story

<p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span>On April Bank holiday weekend 2012</span>, Joe Beale, Luke Harrison, Dan Gibson and Tom Gellett will be attempting to complete the Three Peaks Challenge.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">For those of you who may not have heard of this event before, it is a 24 hour race from the base of Ben Nevis in Scotland to the base of Snowdon. On the way we will endure the 13 hours of ascending and descending Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, the tallest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales respectively.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">If 13 hours of mountain trekking doesn't sound that difficult to you then how about doing most of one of the peaks in the dark and spending 10 hours in a car driving 466 miles?</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Now for the important part of the challenge. During September 2010, Joe's Grandfather was cared for by home nurses supplied by Grove House. By<span>&nbsp;sponsoring us you will be helping Grove House raise the &pound;6 million needed per year to provide their invaluable specialist nursing &amp; support service which is provided free of charge through their at home nursing service or in their day hospice. For more information visit their website at</span>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.grove-house.org.uk/">http://www.grove-house.org.uk/</a>&nbsp;or Facebook page&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Grove-House/138647152855882?ref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Grove-House/138647152855882?ref=ts</a></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">All and any support you can provide is gratefully received. This should be a gruelling challenge for a great cause.&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Thanks everyone and we'll keep you updated with our progress via our Facebook group which you can add yourselves onto&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/4guys3peaks/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/4guys3peaks/</a>.
