Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 23rd June I am taking part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge on behalf of the Yorkshire Young Achievers Foundation. The aim is to complete the challenge in less than 12 hours along with 100 other people taking part in the event. I am part of a team of four which includes three employees from McCormicks Solicitors in Harrogate. The demanding 25-mile circular route takes in Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. Completing the walk in the time set is a challenge, with terrain including bogs and rocky paths, but the rewards are immense, including some of the finest views in Yorkshire. On a clear day you can see as far as Morecambe Bay and the Lake District from the top of the peaks.

The Yorkshire Young Achievers Foundation provides direct support to young people, and projects helping those young people, across the Yorkshire region. Grants already made include nearly £12,000 to Candlelighters, to provide equipment for the children’s cancer unit at Leeds General Infirmary; a grant to a young runner from Northallerton towards his training and travelling expenses; and a grant to the leading education charity, Teach First, pay for the training of a teacher at Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College in Bradford.

Every penny we raise will go towards helping young people in Yorkshire.
