Story
Ayrton Fawcett was born almost three months early and suffered with Necrotising-Entero-Colitis (NEC - His bowel was dying). He endured a life-saving procedure at St. Michael's Hospital, Bristol, and finally returned back to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (N.I.C.U.) at Bath's Royal United Hospital. Three months after he was born, Ayrton finally came home.
So… The Three Peaks Challenge is an attempt to climb the highest peaks in Scotland, England AND Wales in 'one go'. These peaks are Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in England, and Snowdon in Wales.
We travel to Fort William on the Friday, starting with Ben Nevis on the Saturday morning, climb Scafell Pike that night and finish Snowdon on Sunday in Wales!
This is a tough event! Anyone participating should have the necessary fitness and also be prepared to do without sleep! We aim to complete the event in 24 hours - To do this we need to complete Ben Nevis in 5 hours, Scafell Pike in 4 hours and Snowdon in 4 hours...
Ouch!
For N.I.C.U. Please give generously for babies that are born too soon, too small, too sick...
