Dear Friends and Colleagues

A January management meeting at Balsham (Building’s) Ltd moved
on to the less formal subject of company social events. This was when the Three Peaks Challenge was first tentatively thrown in to the ring!!! This challenge is a popular event where teams of walkers attempt to climb and drive between the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon all within the scarily short time of 24 hours. It was soon decided that a worthy cause should be able to benefit from our efforts. Out of the many deserving charities in the UK The Alzheimer’s Society was the chosen charity.

Several iterations of participants later, 10 volunteers finally made themselves known. The date chosen…11^th May 2019. Our journey begins with a flight to Edinburgh on the 10th May and walking starting at 8.00 am on Saturday finishing at 8.00 am Sunday after descending Snowdon following an overnight climb. We sincerely hope that you will be able to help us reach our target of £1500. Any contribution will be greatly appreciated. Follow this page over the 24 hours and you will see updates on our progress, hopefully all good and hopefully all awake!
