Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. Some of you may have noticed we have revised our target. We have set what we believe is achievable. Please help us reach our goal for what we all believe is a very worthy cause. We have completed the challenge in just under 28 hours. We are all very tired and would like to thank you for your support.

Our three peak challenge cannot compare to the challenges faced by extraordinarily brave Servicemen and women injured in the line of duty in current conflicts in Iraq and Afganistan.  However, we hope that by taking on the three peaks we will be able to raise some much needed funds in support of the tremendous charity work Help for Heroes carries out.  Help for Heroes is a charity which provides direct practical support to wounded Servicemen and women returning from Afghanistan and Iraq.  They are strictly non political and non critical; they simply want to help.

This is our way of showing our support to the armed forces and their families and the sponsorship you are providing will spur us on in our fitness campaign over the coming months and really help to motivate us on the 3 Peaks - the alternative, if we are not fit enough, is that Andy will make the girls cry!

We are also undertaking other fundraising activities over the coming months such as a Christmas shopping event, cinema nights, cocktails event and quiz nights.  Please contact one of the team for details. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - We raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks!
