Hello

Welcome to our fundraising page for Muscular Dystrophy!!!!!

On 22nd August 2009 we will endeavour to conquer the three peaks - Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (Lake District) & Snowdon (Wales). This challenge is to be done within 24hours. The clock starts as soon as we set foot on Ben Nevis, with it stopping as soon as we have completed Snowdon.

This is no easy feat. The climbing details are as follows:

Ben Nevis, 1344m high. This should take around 5 hours to the summit & back.  
 
Scafell Pike, 978m high.  This should take around 5 hours to the summit & back.  
 
Snowdon, 1085m high. This final summit should take 4 hours to summit & back

Driving time is estimated at 10 hours in total, so the clock is really against us.

In order to embrace this challenge whole heartedly the team will be training non-stop. For the climbers this is endless hours walking, cycling, building bionic legs and a huge decrease in the amount of take aways consumed.  We have already tried and conquered Snowdon as part of our training programme. For our specially trained drivers it means practicing the raising and lowering of their right foot on the accelerator, studying formula one racing techniques and practicing their foot massage techniques........

Our hopes are to raise a minimum of £2000 between the team. This money could make a huge difference to those children affected by muscle wasting diseases, from offering help & support to their families to providing grants that will aid the purchasing of special equipment  such as powered wheelchairs that will help them live fulfilling lilves.

As we are raising funds on behalf of the Tesco partnership, and most of us work for DHL, we will be hoping to increase the amount raised through the DHL Match It fund.

Its a huge challenge for a great charity........

PLEASE SPONSOR US......

Thanks for your support....

Love......
