Hi, 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. I am so glad the challenge is now over!!

I walked, climbed, crawled most of the 25 miles and ran the last half mile to make it in the 12 hours I was aiming to do the challenge in. And I just made it! In 11 hours and 55 minutes with a total of 5 minutes to spare!

I do have to say I was confident we'd be doing this challenge in less than 11 hours, but then we arrived in Yorkshire on Friday night and I saw the peaks... I knew then it would be a long day, but it was too late to turn back. :)

The day, though tough in terms of endurance, was gorgeous and we were blessed throughout with sunshine and the most amazing views. I am definitely going back for a holiday to Yorkshire!! I am very grateful to our guides from Adventure Cafe who managed to pull us to the finish line, so thank you Ian and Tom! It couldn't have been an easy job with a group of women like us!! Thank you also to Endometriosis UK who were behind the challenge in the first place and organised things for the weekend.

I will be grateful for any last donations now that you know I have actually done what I said I would do - some of you probably held back your donations because you didn't think I could do it!!! I and the charity will appreciate any support you can give.

And I am sure I will bore you all to tears with my stories of my "great hike" over weeks and months to come!

Thanks again for your support.

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 8th May this year, I will be climbing three of Yorkshire's finest peaks in 12 hours. I'm not sure which peaks these are as I've never been to Yorkshire and, perhaps, I'm better off not knowing what I've got myself into!!

I am doing this challenge for a friend of mine who has received a lot of help and support from Endometriosis UK. She decided to take on this challenge to help raise awareness about this rare condition and help the charity, but she did not want to take on the peaks on her own. So, once again, I allowed myself to be talked into months of training, physical exhaustion and blisters, blisters, blisters...  But I know I will enjoy every minute of it!

So if you think I can do it - walk, climb and push my limits for 12 hours non-stop - and would like to support my efforts, please donate to Endometriosis UK and help thousands of women across the UK live a better life.

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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you for your kind donations and support already in advance.
