Story
On 1 August 2015 "Team Lucas" - Dan Box, Craig Duff, Dave Duff, Danny Eckford, Christian Onwochei, Martin Rice and Jack Royle - will be tackling the three peaks (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) in 24 hours to pay back a much needed taxi ride that Craig's son Lucas took in January this year.
On Monday 19 January 2015, Craig's wife Gemma took Lucas (16 months old at the time) shopping to their local supermarket. Halfway through lunch in the cafe Lucas had a severe allergic reaction. Thanks to Wiltshire Air Ambulance ("WAA"), Lucas made it to Bristol Children's Hospital and received the urgent care he required.
Lucas' ride in WAA's helicopter cost the charity £2,500. WAA receives no government or lottery funding. It is funded 100% by donations and fundraising initiatives. The aim of our challenge is therefore simple - to raise enough money to pay WAA back for what they did for Lucas (and then some if possible).
We will be extremely grateful for any donation you are able to make to help us achieve our fundraising target.
Thanks
Team Lucas
