Story

After completing the wolf run to raise money for our last charity Macmillan, I'm setting out on a new challenge...

Alongsidethe 3p's challenge, I am visiting BCH on Thursday 28th May to  get involved with their 'Art Kart'. This is where they ask volunteers to go and attend the hospital and take part in art and crafts sessions with the children while they wait for their appointments. I will be taking the morning off work and taking lots of arty materials to make the children's wait as fun as I can, while seeing how lucky I am and no doubt getting very emotional.

I have also taken part in a cake bake sale and pay £2 every last Friday of the month to dress down, to raise further funds for this great cause.

The 3 P’s Challenge is a mammoth challenge that takes the classic 3 peaks challenge and looks to go 3 steps further, intrigued? Well read on…

A team of us from Prime will be climbing the three mountains of Snowdon, Scarfell Pike and Ben Nevis, but intend on cycling to each mountain from our office in Solihull racking up over 1000 miles in the saddle. The final element to this challenge is to visit a local lake at each mountain and row the length of Lake Bala, Windermere and Loch Ness (which is believed to be harder than rowing the channel!). 

We are embarking on such an epic challenge in aid of Birmingham Children’s Hospital, our nominated charity for 2015 /16. First opening its doors in 1862, Birmingham Children’s Hospital enjoys a nationwide reputation for ground-breaking research and care treating over 86,000 children each year. With 360 beds, 15 wards, 14 theatres and 61 parent and family accommodation rooms, it is the largest facility of its kind in Europe.  

The whole challenge is expected to include 12 days cycling, 19 hours rowing and 3 days walking and your donation will make it all worth while.

About the charity

It's bewildering and unsettling for anyone going into hospital but especially for children and that is why we are a fundraising hospital. We raise funds to enhance the experience of our patients by providing state of the art medical equipment and facilities and creating a child-friendly environment.
