Story
Thank you for taking the time to read my page!!
I am aiming to complete the Three Peaks Challenge in under 24 hours, starting with a climb of Ben Nevis, followed by Scafell Pike and a finish in Snowdon. The challenge will be on Saturday 28th July.
I will be completing the challenege as part of a group however I am travelling solo, starting with a flight to Glasgow before a train journey to Fort William in the Scottish Highlands, the start point for my expedition.
I am raising the money to build classrooms, pay for the teachers wages (average of £400 in The Gambia) and supply resources for the Jemus Jammah Memorial Nursery and Lower Basic School in Abuko, Gambia.
I will be part of a team of students going to the Gambia in November to set this up and provide teaching resources for the children. Any support would be much appreciated.

6 years agoA huge thanks to everyone that donated and supported the Jemus Jammah Junkung Nursery and Lower Basic School in Abuko, Gambia through sponsoring me on the Three Peaks Challenge. I have spent the last week at the school teaching and just as an idea as to where your donations have went to; tables and chairs directly from the fundraising were delivered to the school this week whilst more classrooms are being built as we speak... I want to say a huge thank you, all of the donations will and already have made a huge difference #teamgambia
