Story
The most wonderful couple and great friends of mine Keith
& Kelly have asked me to participate in the National 3 Peaks Challenge.
My friends have been involved with an organisation
called Sport in Action in Zambia since 2008 culminating in building a sports pitch at the Mtendere School in the centre of one of the most impoverished communities on the outskirts of Lurska.
The couple regularly visit providing courses and education aiming to empower the students through the medium of sport. Education isn’t free but for schools such as this, all operating through the kindness of the teaching staff. Its success has meant that the school has now run out of space and Keith and Kelly have taken it upon themselves to continue their remarkable work and legacy on the project by raising money to build a new classroom.
We are raising money through sponsorship for taking part in
the national three peaks challenge, which involves climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales within a 24 hour period. The total walking distance is 23 miles (37km) and the total ascent is 3064m (10,052ft). The challenge is taking place on Saturday 25th May
