Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your
details are safe – 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.
Now, a bit about the challenge and us:
At the
start of June, we will be attempting to complete The National Three Peaks
Challenge.
The
Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks in Scotland, England and
Wales, respectively, in just 24 hours (this includes traveling
times!).
The peaks are:
Ben
Nevis, in Scotland (1344m)
Scafell
Pike, in England (978m)
Snowdon,
in Wales (1085m)
Climbers
are Ed Brown, Nick Coyne, Danny Howard, Tom Maloney, Darryl (Barney) Smith and
Dan Timlick. With two drivers: Aaron Davies and Woody Mazota.
Now for
those of you that know us, you will already be aware of the fact that we are
not professional mountaineers (not even close!) so it will be an extremely
difficult task. But we will be giving it our best shot, as it is all for a good
cause.
We are
hoping to raise as much money as possible, so we ask for your donations that
will go to the following charities:
The
Derbyshire Asbestos Support Team, which provides help for victims and families
of asbestos related diseases throughout the East Midlands;
The Hayward
House Hospice, a palliative cancer care centre based at Nottingham’s City
Hospital and;
Macmillan
Cancer Support which improves the lives of people affected by cancer across the
UK.
Everyone
involved in the Challenge works in the construction industry and we are all too
familiar with the dangers of working with asbestos. Therefore, we have chosen
charities that make a real difference to people who have been affected by
asbestos related diseases.
This
JustGiving page is specifically for Macmillan but we will be trying to collect
equally for all three charities (via non other means), please contact us if you
would prefer to give to the other charities.
Our
training has already started, so join our facebook group

and keep up to date with our progress.
Thanks, and
in the words of Bob Geldof…… Give us your f***in’ money!!
