Story
Battens Disease is an extremely rare and fatal neurodegenerative condition, for which there is currently no cure. I work with a man named Matty Rich who has 3 beautiful children with his wife Gail. Both of their daughters, Nicole and Jessica have recently been given the devastating diagnosis of Battens Disease.
I and four others, Lewis, Olly, Mark and Kyle are going to do the 3 peak challenge on the 17th June 2017. This involves climbing Ben Nevis, Scarfell Pike and Snowdonia within 24 hours.
By doing this we wish to help raise awareness of the disease and raise as much as we can to help Matty & Gail create and enjoy as many everlasting memories with their beautiful daughters as they can.

Please spread the word.
With thanks,
Martin, Olly, Lewis, Kyle & Mark

Quite challenging, and a decent walk for a sunday morning! Please donate and help raise some money towards our cause. Cheers Martin

7 years agoYesterday we completed probably our toughest training walk to date, to the Cheviot summit. We made our usual start by making a couple of wrong turnings and taking an unneeded off road route to the car park. We made our way along side Langleeford and Toby (the dog) decided he wanted to chance his luck at walking across a cattle grid - which didn't end well, but he managed to walk it off. Avoiding cows, sheep and baby lambs we made a route 1 attack to get to the top. Won't lie, this was tough on the old legs, and there was some seriously heavy br
