We are raising funds for Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital by taking part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge!

The Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside are among the best known hills in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The peaks, which form part of the Pennine range, encircle the heads of the valleys of the River Ribble and of Chapel-le-Dale.

The challenge is to walk the circular route, scaling each peak in turn, aiming for a time less than 12 hours. The total walking distance is 39.2km (24.5 miles).

Funds raised from the event help us enhance both Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for the benefit of patients, their loved ones, visitors and staff. Examples of how these funds have helped make a difference include additional wheelchairs, brightening of wards and departments with new decoration, furniture and artworks for comfort, and creating tranquil and calming environments to promote wellbeing and recuperation for patients and staff. You can read about what we do on our website.

Some of our team members are supporting our latest Baby Loss Appeal as we raise £100,000 to enhance the bereavement facilities within Hull Women and Children’s Hospital.

The appeal will see the refurbishment of the bereavement suite used by in excess of 100 families over the past 12 months, enabling families to make memories with their precious baby in a peaceful and tranquil area. Funds raised will also support the renovation of six quiet rooms, and improve the entrance and exit to the Early Pregnancy Unit, to reduce the number of encounters families have with other expectant parents and new born babies

The walk will take place on Saturday 13th September, beginning in the picturesque Horton in Ribblesdale. If you would like to join the team or find more about what's involved, please email hyp-tr.hellowishh@nhs.net and we'll provide you with all the details and everything you need.
