Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Many of you may already know that I have recently became a father for the first time. On the 19th December, I celebrated the birth of my sons, Samuel and Joshua.

Samuel was born with Necrotizing Enterocolitis, a serious intestinal ilness in babies. This resulted in an operation to remove a small section of his bowel. He spent the first period of this life being looked after by the team of doctors and nurses in the Special Care Baby Unit at Harrogate District Hospital. The care and support that Samuel received while in the Special Care Baby Unit was absolutely invaluable in giving him the best possible start in life.

It is for this reason that I have organised the "3 Peaks Challenge" starting over the English bank holiday weekend on 1st May and finishing on 3rd May. This challenge involves climbing the three highest mountains in the UK within 24 hours.
