Lisa's Christian’s Three Peaks Challenge
Lisa Backhouse is raising money for Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This summer, Christian (and his dad, Richard) will attempt the National Three Peaks Challenge over three days. The National Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales.
The total walking distance is 23 miles (37km) and the total ascent is 3064 metres (10,052ft).
Christian is raising money for Sheffield Children’s Hospital, who have quite literally saved his life on more than one occasion!
Christian was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia at the age of 2 years and 9 months. He had just under 3 years of chemotherapy, over a thousand doses of oral, intravenous and intrathecal drugs. His treatment was cut short after chicken pox left him in an induced coma in Intensive care.
But anyone who knows Christian will tell you he’s a fighter! Now aged 9, he’s taken it all in his stride and has never looked back.
Doing this challenge is all Christian’s idea, after he climbed Scafell Pike with his dad earlier this year. He’s looking forward to climbing Ben Nevis most of all!
Jenson and I will be joining them for part of each of the mountains and we’re hoping to complete Scafell Pike, in itself quite an achievement for a 5 year old!
