A group of us are completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge to raise money for Brighter Future International Trust (BFIT).

BFIT is a charity providing residential care, medical care, education, vocational training, practical and emotional support to sufferers of TB, leprosy, HIV/AIDS, their children and those disadvantaged by age.

Working with all, regardless of caste or creed, in the officially declared backward areas of Andhra Pradesh

The New Buidling for HIV infected Orphans in Vizianagaram 

Brighter Future are currently extending Rainbow Boy's Home to make a completely self contained unit for 20 to 40 orphan HIV+ children. The extension comprises a second storey on the house and a room on "stilts". The upper floor brickwork has started, however, we need roughly another  ₤10,000 to complete the project.

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks walk is a well established route in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National  Park.  It is 23-26 miles in length, depending on any slight variations taken en route. What is compulsory is that you climb Pen y Ghent (694m), Whernside (728m) and Ingleborough (723m) – in that order.

Our aim is to complete this arduous (!!!) route in 12 hours ! 

As most of you who know us are aware, our walking abilities stop at getting out of the taxi and into the bar.  This is set to be a really challenging 12 hours.

We appreciate any support that you can offer us.
