UPDATE!
We did it!!!! We climbed 3 whole mountains and returned in one piece!!! We finished just over 24 hours due to our minibus having a 60 mile per hour limiter and also the satnav took us on a detour that cost us and hour and a half so if this hadn't happened we would have been well under the 24 hours.
We actually did all three mountains in less time than we should have:
Ben Nevis we did in 4 hours and 45 minutes (you're advised to do it in 6)
Scafell Pike we did in 3 hours and 50 minutes ( you're advised to do it in 5)
Snowdon we all did in different times but the average was 3 hours and 30 minutes (you're advised to do it in 4 - no one came in over that time)
It was quite literally the toughest thing any of us have ever done and we would not have been able to do it without Rupert's organisation, Jamie's heroic driving and cooking, Micheal Timney's naviation and pace making and everyone else's positive attitudes and support. It was an amazing experience that we will always be immensely proud of - but we can safely say we will NEVER do it again!!!!
Thank you to everyone who has sponsored us so generously already - if you haven't yet then please rest assured this is one of those times when we really really had to work for your money and we definitely earned it. None of us can walk properly and we've never been in so much muscular pain in all our life. We all also have various bruises, massive blisters and unfomfortable chaffing. We have definitely suffered for your dough. It's a very good cause and even one pound would be great!
Thank you all for your support!

Hello everyone and thanks for coming to the page!
On the 4th of September Morgan, Marlon and Steve will be joining a team of 12 who will be attempting to complete three mountains in 24 hours. We will be climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon and we will be travelling between each one with the help of Jamie Hicks and a minibus.
"Why?!" I hear you cry...
Well it's all down to the brilliant Rupert Braun who asked if we'd like to join him, he would organise the whole shebang and in return we raise as much money as possible for a charity of our choosing...
We have chosen the Penny Brohn Centre in Bristol as our charity. This is a place that Morgan and Marlon's dad, Chris, went to last year after his diagnosis of Bowel Cancer. It is a place that helps people come to terms with their cancer and also change their attitude towards healing themselves using complementary medecines as well as the normal routes. It is particularly good at helping people take responsibility for their illness and therefore for their survival - it's focus on diet and combatting stress was of particular use to Chris.
In the last year we have seen Chris face up to, fight and beat his cancer and it is this bravery and strength that we are hoping to emulate when we drag ourselves up three mountains - no matter how tough it will be it won't be as tough as Chris' last year.
So please do have a look at the Penny Brohn website http://www.pennybrohncancercare.org/
It's a fantastic organisation and deserves all the support it gets.
Please dig deep. We have set a target of £600 but we would love to beat this.
Many thanks and big fat love hugs from us three
