Friends and family,

I am thrilled to be reaching one of my personal goals for this year and to be taking part in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge on May 6th 2017.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The route is 24 miles long and includes 5,200ft (1,585m) of ascent.

I hope to complete this in less than 12 hours!

I will be collecting donations for the Gibraltar Women In Need Charity (Ref:111).

Women In Need is a Gibraltarian organisation which provides shelter and support for abused women and victims of domestic violence. Women in Need currently operated from several houses that each accommodate up to ten women and their children. These lodgings are essential in offering women an alternative by providing the basics needed for an independent life.

There are currently approximately 110 women, many with children and also several men living in refuge at their premises.

Should you be kind enough to contribute to this cause, I (and they) would be very grateful.
