<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I will be taking part in the National Three Peaks Challenge at the end of June 2012.&nbsp; This will involve me climbling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Mount Snowdon in 24 hours.&nbsp; Not only will I be taking on this very tough challenge, but I will also be attempting to break a record and become the Youngest Solo Person to complete the Three Peaks Challenge.</p> <p>I will be trying to collect money for three charities in the run up to, and during my challenge.&nbsp; I have decided to link a charity to each mountain, and there are reasons why I have chosen each charity, and why I have linked them to each mountain.</p> <p>To Ben Nevis I have attached the Mountain Rescue Committee of Scotland.&nbsp; Obviously Ben Nevis is in Scotland, but I have other reasons for choosing this charity.&nbsp; Whilst on holiday in Scotland in October 2011, I had an accident and sprained my ankle badly.&nbsp; One of the volunteers from Torridon mountain rescue (a branch of MRCofS) came out to help, and was great, he guided in the helicopter, and took my dog and our walking gear down the mountain.&nbsp; I am so grateful for what MRCofS did for us, and they do an amazing job for so many others.&nbsp; They are reliant on volunteers and donations for the work they do, so that they are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.&nbsp; I never expected I would ever need mountain rescue services, I don't think anybody does, but it is comforting to know that you can call on their services when you need it most.&nbsp; I hope to raise money for them so that they can continue their fantastic work.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Any donations would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>My other charities are Help For Heroes, and Children's Hospice South West.&nbsp; For more information on my challenge, and links to all three of my charity fundraising pages please see my team page:</p> <p>www.justgiving.com/teams/GeorginaHopgoodYoungestSolo3PeaksChallenge&nbsp;</p> <p>For up-to-date information please visit my website at: www.youngestsolo3peakschallenge.co.uk</p> <p>Thank you.</p>
