Peter and Portia are climbing England's 5 toughest peaks in one fated day in the middle of May. We are battling these peaks in aid of Bookmark Reading - a charity very close to home for both of us.

Peter is an experienced outdoorsman having completed 3 Peaks in 19 hours and 40 minutes, Ten Tors, Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award and.... Portia is not.

We are committed to raising a mountain of money, to help children build the futures they deserve.

More info on what we're doing and why:

Bookmark Reading is a literacy charity with a mission to create flexible volunteering at the heart of our communities, to help children to develop the reading skills they need to succeed in school and beyond. It is a shocking statistic that even today, over 200,000 children in England leave primary school every year unable to read to the expected standard. These children often struggle for the rest of their lives. Poor literacy can lead to limited job prospects, poor health, low self-esteem, and reduced life expectancy. With your support, we can help as many children as possible to build the futures they deserve.On Saturday 18th May, Bookmark and its supporters will tackle 5 of England's toughest peaks, including its highest - Scafell Pike. Ascending over 3,000 feet and covering over 14 miles in a single day, this is no walk in the park! To learn more about what Bookmark does, please visit: www.bookmarkreading.org
