Story

<p>Help us bring a ShelterBox to a family affected by disaster.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Event:</strong></span> The Three Peaks Challenge on the 25th of June</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Charity:</span></strong> ShelterBox</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fundraisers:</span></strong> Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholars studying in the UK, and some of their awesome English friends!</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Idea:</span></strong> In order to raise funds and awareness for Shelter Box, we want to climb the three highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales within 24 hours.</p> <p>To make the challenge even more tough, we will be carrying original Shelter Boxes. They will stand for the number of Boxes that have been sent&nbsp;to disaster areas to provide refief for those who lost their homes.</p> <p>It costs &pound;590 to deliver one valuable box to people who are mostly in need. On our way up and down the three peaks we will&nbsp;try hard&nbsp;to overcome difficult terrain and&nbsp;to finally&nbsp;deliver the boxes&nbsp;across the finish line. We want to demonstrate the immense effort that is made to bring relief to victims of natural hazards such as in Japan.</p> <p><strong>Our job: </strong>To train hard, cover the participation and transport costs, and to carry the boxes.</p> <p><strong>Your job:</strong> To increase the cargo for ShelterBox.&nbsp; With your help, we will raise the money necessary for ShelterBox to deliver one shelter to a family in need.</p> <p>For more information on ShelterBox visit: http://www.shelterbox.org/</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
