Marta's National Three Peaks Challenge
Marta Torner is raising money for Rethink Mental Illness
Story
Hola!!!!
Those closer to me will know that I’ve been talking about this challenge for a while. You’ll also know that my levels of fitness... have room for improvement! (and I have been talking about improving them too!).
On the weekend of the 21st of June, I will be joining a team of Capital One employees on a journey to conquer the highest peak in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowden). ALL IN 24 HOURS!
The challenge is no small thing:
- Trekking for around 18 hours during the challenge.
- Covering over 28 miles of undulating terrain. Over a full marathon distance, but with 3 hills!
- Ascending a total of 3000m in a single day. Almost the same amount of ascent as summiting Kilimanjaro!
- Summiting the 3 highest hills in the UK, Ben Nevis (1344m) Scafell Pike (977m) and Snowdon (1085m)
I would lie if I said I am not nervous!
Support me along this journey by making a donation - I am taking the challenge for Rethink Mental Illness. Did you know that 28% of people wait more than a year to tell their family about their mental illness? Let’s break the taboo.
