My story

Hi Guys,

 

Thanks for visiting our Just Giving page. We appreciate all your donations. Your support and encouragement will most certainly get us through the 1am climb up Helvellyn!

  

 So please dig deep and donate now!

  

 Many thanks,

 Steamship 2012 Three Peaks Teams x

  

 

 

 

 

 

By way of background here is some information about the Challenge and Sailor's Society.

 

The Sailors’ Society Three Peaks Challenge is a prestigious fundraising event which takes place every other year. This year’s Challenge will be the fifth for the charity. The past three events have raised a total of £1.5 million for the Sailors’ Society. 40 teams from shipping related industries are taking part in this year’s event which takes place from 15 to 17 June 2012.

The Sailors’ 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’s 1.2 million seafarers. The charity, through a network of Port Chaplin’s and Seafarers’ Centres across the world, helps to provide practical, emotional and spiritual support for seafarers worldwide.

 

This demanding event will test each team’s physical and mental abilities as well as teamwork and navigational skills as they climb Great Britain’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.

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’ Society.

 

This year two teams will be representing Steamship Insurance Management. Firstly, a Girls team, to be made up of Nimisha Shah (Eastern Syndicate), Karolina Harvey (Eastern Syndicate) and Anna Yudaeva (European Syndic ate) and a Boys team, consisting of William Baynham (European Syndicate), Jamie Taylor (European Syndicate) and Martin Turner (Americas Syndicate).
