Hello All,
Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.
After racking our brains to find a way of raising money for an absolutely fantastic charity, Myself, Martin & five others have come up with a challenge of massive proportions!! We have decided to do the " THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE " This challenge involves climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours, yes that’s right, we will climb, and travel between, the tallest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales within 24 HOURS!!! We will attempt this on June 30th...
The Three Peaks are:
Ben Nevis - Scotland: 1344 metres
Scafell Pike - England: 978 metres
Snowdon - Wales: 1085 metres
The distance walked is around 25 miles, the height climbed is around 10,000 feet, and the distance to be covered between the mountains is some 450 miles by road.....
This Challenge is both exhilarating and demanding and cannot and should not be under estimated.
Will We Complete It? Lets Hope So :)

The Charity & The Reason We Are Doing This We are doing all of this and attempting to raise money for a truly fantastic charity that desperately needs your help. The Lavender Hill Mob Theatre Company aim to include every group of youngsters within there performances regardless of ability and Disability. " Martins Brother, James, was born with downs syndrome, and his parents relate the experience of the Theatre Company as a vital part of his life, it gives him confidence and brings immense happiness within a life that’s full of obstacles and barriers" In an declining financial environment, less and less people find an excess of income to be able to donate and help with charities all over the country. This makes life extremely hard for Charities, and The Lavender Hill Mob Theatre Company is no different. We all ask of you, deeply and sincerely, that you are able to donate as little, or as much, as you can towards a charity that depends solely on the good faith and kidness of donations from individuals. Yes Charity should begin at home, However it does not need to stay there. Finally, I would like to say a massive Thank You to all of you for even taking the time to read this page and consider sponsoring myself and the other five lads to complete this monumental challenge. Wish Us Luck, and please continue to help others as one day we may need help ourselves. |
