This summer I will be taking part in the Three Peaks Challenge in aid of the Family Holiday Assoiation, a fantastic charity which gives a much needed break (usually at the British seaside) to low income families in difficult circumstances who need the chance to get away for a few days and regroup as family unit.

The three peaks are the tallest in Scotland, England and Wales: Ben Nevis, Scarfel Pike and Snowden, and the challenge is to get up and down all of them within 24 hours. For those interested, this will consist of about 3 kilometers of up, with about 40 kilometers of sideways thrown in. I may live to regret it.

Please give what you can, no matter how small the donation. Every little helps, and it's all going to an excellent cause.
