Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have rather foolishly signed up to do the three peaks challenge in 24 hours with some work colleagues.  The 3 Peaks Challenge is a huge test of physical and mental stamina (especially for someone as unfit as I currently am!) - climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales all within 24 hours.   

As you may know, I currently struggle to run half a mile, let alone climb 460 miles in 24 hours with no sleep, however in my eyes you have
to do something out your comfort zone to gain the respect of your
sponsors.  I am therefore hoping that over the next four months, you might have a little spare change to support me in the mad challenge for such an incredibly research facility.

Obviously it would take a great cause for me to sign up to
such a stupid idea, which is to raise money for The Sebastian Co Foundation who is working with Cancer Research UK to fund The Francis Crick Institute, the worlds most important research facility into fatal illness’ such as cancer, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.  To learn
a bit more about this ground breaking research facility please click

The challenge involves climbing around ten thousand feet and
walking almost 26 miles, not to mention travelling 460 miles between the peaks, all within 24 hours.  We shall start Friday 21^st April pm with Ben Nevis in Scotland, upon descending in the dark we shall be minibussing down to Scafell Pike in the Lake District for a dawn walk up and down, before piling back in to the minibus over to Snowden in Wales for our final climb before the clock ticks past the 24 hour mark!

I am now a fully-fledged member of a gym to get my fitness up and shall be walking (or hopefully running) up and down any hill between Kent and East Sussex over the next few months in practice.

If anyone fancies a weekend 5, 10, 20 mile walk between Christmas and April get in touch and come and keep me company!

Thank you so much for your support,
