On May 5th 2012, six brave, handsome, trained, focused, and modest men (Benjamin Daniells, Marc O'Connor, Mark Stringer, Gaz Murphy, James Haigh & David Jones) embarked on a challenge that involved hiking the distance of a marathon WHILE CLIMBING UP a total of 11,200ft. It was of course, the Three Peaks Challenge. The UK's 3 highest mountains (Snowden, Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis) were ascended, and descended, in under 24 hours. It was a race against time! Despite the aching muscles, blistered feet, bruised toes & frozen fingers we kept going and were able to finish in a fantastic 21hours & 56minutes!

I hope our succesful challenge will encourage you to donate a wonderfaul cause, named EduSport.

EduSport is a charity based in Zambia. They use sport, recreation and other forms of physical activities as a vehicle  for achieving empowerment, education, health and other development goals in socio-economically underserved communities in Zambia.

Many of the young people the charity works with are effected by HIV & AIDS, either through a loss of a friend, family member, or may even have the virus or disease themselves. The charity uses the unique power of sport to pass on infomation and teach lessons to prevent Zambia's future generations from being impacted so severely.

EduSport also has a fantastic 'Go Sisters' project which focuses the charities goals specifically towards young woman. Across the world there is a clear correlation between education levels of woman and a nations development. This makes the 'Go Sisters' project so vital.

By giving young people the knowledge and opportunities to create change themselves, they are able to develop their communities sustainably to create forever lasting improvements. The more support the charity can get, the more young people and communities they are able to reach out to.

EduSport relies on Peer leaders to run these, and other, programmes. £60 can put a Peer Leader/future Peer Leader through school for a whole year! Thats 12 people giving £5.
