Story

So on the 1st June I will be attempting the 3 Peaks Challenge- The 3 highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) 10,000 feet of ascent, covering 25 miles or so, and all within 24 hours. We'll be battling the elements with very little sleep, energy and leg strength, and given current fitness levels after weeks of exams, this will be no mean feat and definitely my hardest and most optimistic challenge yet. Nevertheless, I'm going to give it my best shot and force these little legs of mine to carry me up those mountains. 

It's all for a great cause, as the money raised will go to Mountain Rescue, who do fantastic work which is often not recognised. All teams are made up of volunteers who rely on charity fundraising to keep them going, providing a world class search and rescue service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, saving countless lives. 

So please donate if you can, because any donation, however small, will massively help the climb!
