In July 2012 I lost my dear friend Paul ‘Shirley’ Thompson who died suddenly at football training. He will be missed dearly by all of his friends and leaves behind a loving family for whom things will never be the same again.

He was sport loving, fit and healthy and lead an active full life, to lose him unexpectantly at such a young age is devastating. It's unbelievable that something like this could happen to him. This is why I am joining the BHF Y3P challenge with Martyn Jackson to raise money for Legacy for a Legend in memory of Shirls.

Thanks in advance for any donation you make every penny can make a difference.

The Challenge:

Hiking the three highest peaks in Yorkshire in 12 hours:
Whernside (736 m/2,415ft)
Ingleborough (723 m/2,372ft)
Pen-y-Ghent (694 m/2,277ft)
