Raising money for

The Foyer Federation

Charity Registration No. 1040482

All young people need a home, support and a springboard into independent living, learning and work - some don't get it. Foyers fill the gap. With 120 Foyers across the UK, the movement provides accommodation for over 5,000 homeless young people each year, integrated with education, training and employment opportunities.

My story

We're back!! Team Netwalks has been revamped and re-energised for having another go at the 3 Peaks Challenge. Last year we faced severe gales, -10 wind chill, penetrating rain and waterfalls on one mountain; wrong directions, freezing cold and darkness on the second; and the will of God to keep things in line on the third. Yet with all this still burned into our minds we can't help but want to raise even more money for charity this year.

For those who don't know, we are a group of Virgin Media employees that have decided to swap our keyboards and desks for the great outdoors. We think we are fit and have decided to challenge 3 of the tallest mountains in the UK to see if this is the case. Oh yeah, and we thought we would try and do this in 24 hours also!

Last year we raised £2375.46 for Great Ormond Street Hospital and Motor Neurone Disease. This year we are combining our efforts with the other 35 teams competing to focus all our fundraising efforts for a single charity so that it has a greater impact for that charity. The charity of choice is the Foyer Federation which helps homeless young people regain their full potential so they can begin to build a life for themselves. More information on our event and the charity can be found here.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us. If you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
