Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
After running in this year’s Hull 10K (well 9K after HCC cut it short!) on the 19/05/13 I’m now taking on the 'Three Peaks Challenge' on the 19/07/13 as part of my commitment and that of "Team Cobus" to raise the profile of "FiND" our nominated Cobus Foundation Charity for 2013 and hopefully also raise some welcome funds for this great local charity.
A little bit of info about the Three Peaks:
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes place in the Yorkshire Dales and includes the successful summit of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. This involves about 26 miles & 5,000 feet of climbing over a range of tough and testing terrains
The 'Challenge' is to complete the Three Peaks in less than 12-hours but after a time of just 10-hours 40-Minutes last year (in October!) both Phil Huggins, a colleague and friend, and I will be looking at beating this time!
A little bit of info about FiND:
FiND operates in various locations in the East Riding, providing valuable respite support for young people, their families, carers and siblings and is designed to meet the needs of young people and adults who have Autism Spectrum Disorder and associated learning disabilities.
Autism is a lifelong disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people and the world around them. By providing meaningful activities via a structured routine, indoors, outdoors and in the community, delivered by a highly trained and experienced team they aim to promote self-esteem and inclusion within the community.
FiND's mission is to support families by putting the needs of the individual at the centre.
