Edward's 3 Peaks challenge
Edward Arnold is raising money for The Prostate Project
Story
• Prostate cancer has become the biggest cancer killer of men. It kills one man every hour
• Each year over 27,000 men in the UK are told they have prostate cancer and more than 10,000 die of the disease
• Worldwide numbers are staggering. Each year over half a million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 200,000 die from it
• Cancer of the prostate can be treated effectively even if it has spread beyond the gland but the disease must be caught early to achieve excellent cure rates.
The Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland, within 24 hours.
The three mountains are:
- Snowdon, in Wales (1085m)
- Scafell Pike, in England (978m)
- Ben Nevis, in Scotland (1344m)
