Emma, Rebecca, Karen, Vanessa, Kairi, Lorna and Charlotte (AKA 'Geeks on the Peaks') have taken on the "Three Peaks Challenge" - we're going to climb the 3 highest mountains in England, Wales and Scotland in just 24 hours this July. And why would 7 corporate recovery lawyers do such a thing? God only knows...well, not only in an attempt to get fit but more importantly, to raise some money for this year's firm charity: The Special Olympics.
This is going to be a gruelling and exhausting challenge. For a start, (finding and) using a compass may prove to be quite a daunting task but we'll also be scaling mountains both night and day - attempting to recouperate on a mini-bus, on the drive from one mountain to the next. By the end of it, we'll be broken (in more ways than one), but we hope we'll have raised at least £2,000 for the Special Olympics.
With the Olympics coming to our home city next year, you can really make a difference to athletes with intellectual disabilities by sponsoring us. Dignity, acceptance, and a chance to reach one’s potential are human rights worth promoting for everyone. For more than four decades, Special Olympics has been bringing one message to the world: people with intellectual disabilities can and will succeed if given the opportunity.
