My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

On the 18th July 2009 Jue and Pete attempted to complete the Bob Graham Round: a journey of 64 miles around 42 of the highest mountain tops in the Lake District in 24 hours, with a total ascent equivalent to climbing Everest! Despite tough weather and difficult conditions we managed to complete 39 mountain tops in the 24 hours. We are still recovering!!

We are raising money for two charities whose work we admire:
- Single Parents/Southmead Toddlers (Bristol)
- Hope International
Read on for more information about these charities, the Bob Graham Round and why we have chosen this challenge..

Single Parents work is a new initiative run by the Community Church in Southmead to provide support, treats and resources for Single parents in Bristol. This was launched in May 2009 with a highly successful Single Parents fair which provided easy access to useful advice, pampering for the parents, a variety of workshops for the older children and a crèche, all free of charge. The long term plan is to build regular groups for single parents across Bristol to enable supportive friendships to emerge and provide care and resources in response to needs,

Southmead Toddlers is a new local group planned to start in September 2009 that would be interlinked with the single parent work above, but not exclusively for single parents. Meeting weekly it would aim to support and help build friendships and to promote and resource key issues such as healthy eating, parenting issues.

Hope International is a non-profit making organisation, supported by Woodlands, who try to help the world's poorest people through community based projects. These projects include providing clean water and sanitation, supporting families by helping them grow enough food to feed themselves and their communities, providing education for children and adults, and saving lives in times of disaster or conflict, helping survivors rebuild their lives, livelihoods and communities.

The Bob Graham Round

Bob Graham was a hotelier in the Lake District in the 1930s who on his 42nd birthday shattered the existing record for the most Lake District peaks to be visited in a 24 hour period. He tried to visit 41 peaks the previous year and didn't make it, but then added an extra peak (Great Calva) and succeeded. Our aim is the complete the same route, at the same age (we are both 42 this year), and raise as much as we can for charity.
