I signed up to the National Three Peaks Challenge - with the aim of climbing and descending Ben Nevis, Scafell and Snowdon, three of the highest mountains in the UK, under 24 hours.

After signing up to the event, the wife of a colleague of mine at the Lancashire Telegraph sadly died. In her final days she received lots of care and support from Pendleside. So did her family.

Her husband, Alan Simpson, pledged to raise £10,000 for the hospice in memory of his wife Gail and I asked if I could help and raise some money towards the Gail Simpson appeal target.

Since then, I have joined the +24 Marketing team in Burnley who are also supporters of the local charity.

I have organised the event, paid my own travel and accommodation so ALL money will go to the charity.

I have already raised some money offline, and I am hoping this will help more people to donate.

Thank you for reading my story. Any donation is much appreciated.
