Society Three Peaks Challenge is a prestigious fundraising event which takes place every other year. This year&rsquo;s Challenge will be the fifth for the charity. The past three events have raised a total of &pound;1.5 million for the Sailors&rsquo; Society. 40 teams from shipping related industries are taking part in this year&rsquo;s event which takes place from 15 to 17 June 2012.</span></span></p> </p> <p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">The Sailors&rsquo; Society is an international charity that provides an invaluable personal lifeline to seafarers throughout the world and exists to enrich and enhance the well-being of the world&rsquo;s 1.2 million seafarers. The charity, through a network of Port Chaplin&rsquo;s and Seafarers&rsquo; Centres across the world, helps to provide practical, emotional and spiritual support for seafarers worldwide.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000000;">This demanding event will test each team&rsquo;s physical and mental abilities as well as teamwork and navigational skills as they climb Great Britain&rsquo;s highest peaks within 24 hours. The peaks to be tackled are Ben Nevis (1344m/4406ft) in Scotland, Helvellyn (950m/3118ft) in the Lake District and Snowdon (1085m/3560ft) in Wales. </span></span></p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Three Peaks Challenge is a fantastic fundraising opportunity but it is also a race and teams will be competing against one another to achieve the best possible times. In recognition of this the Cargill Cup is awarded on a points basis to the team with a combination of the fastest climb time and most money raised. There are also trophies available for second and third place based on speed and the highest fundraising team is awarded a trophy from the Sailors&rsquo; Society.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">This year two teams will be representing Steamship Insurance Management.
