Thank you for visiting Caol Ila's fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us, we're competing in two adventure races this summer to raise money for Butterwick Hospice Care in Stockton-on-Tees. The charity is very close to our hearts and the palliative care and support which the Butterwick provides is very imporant to many individuals and families who find their lives affected by terminal illness.

Caol Ila is the name of the boat which will be our home in May and June this year.

It's gonna be tough. Having completed the Scottish Islands Peaks Race in May 2008 (go to www.list.co.uk/article/9277-scottish-islands-peaks-race-2008 for a race report of sorts . . .), PART TWO of our epic challenge awaits, as we attempt to complete 400 miles of tough sailing, 30 miles of cycling and 60 miles of running (the equivalent of 3 marathons in around 4 days). 

The Powerbar Three Peaks Yacht Race is one of the most gruelling challenges anyone could put themselves through. In May we completed the Scottish Islands Peaks Race by running up three of Scotland's most epic mountains on the Isles of Mull, Jura, and Arran. This time we're going that bit further to earn your hard earned pennies for The Butterwick Hospice. At the end of June we'll run up the three highest peaks in Britain -- Snowdon in Wales, Scafell Pike in England and finish up by scaling Ben Nevis in Scotland. Not only that but we'll sail to each mountain -- as if it isn't hard enough!

Phew! 

There'll be blood. Sweat. And beers (post-race ofcourse . . .)

But worry not. We'll put ourselves through the pain, the suffering, the seasickness and sleep deprivation. All you have to do is wiggle your mouse a bit and tap in a few numbers.
