Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Charity are the official charity of Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust - and through the generosity of patients, their loved ones and communities across Calderdale and Huddersfield the charity raise funds to enhance patient care and support NHS colleague wellbeing - by funding projects, initiatives and resources over and above what NHS funding alone can deliver.
Nestled within the Pennine Range of the Yorkshire Dales National Park lie the iconic three peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The route is 24.5 miles and includes 1585m of ascent. For the three peaks challenge I’ll attempt to conquer all three peaks in 12 hours along with my big brother Steve and fellow colleagues and friends at the Trust in an effort to help raise money for the charity.
The first summit in the early morning will see us ascend Pen-y-Ghent but there will be no hanging around as we trek on through to midday and our second summit, Whernside the highest peak at 736 metres.
Finally the afternoon will lead us to our third and final summit, up 723 metres to the top of Ingleborough, with awe inspiring views across the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park. We’re hoping to finish the day with a huge sense of achievement knowing we’ve raised funds for a fantastic charity. It’s a big personal challenge and it’s one I’m hoping I can tick off my bucket list and I really hope I can achieve my goal of completing this tough and testing trek.
I will be walking the three peaks in memory of my truly amazing late fiancé Jay who sadly passed away suddenly last May. I find inner strength in hoping he’ll be looking down on me giving me the courage and determination to dig deep when the going gets tough. He will be very much in my thoughts on the day as he is always and is sorely missed by so many people. A true legend who shines so bright and who will always be in our hearts x
