After a couple of years recovering from treatment for Breast Cancer, we have decided to give something back to the world with the intention of raising some money for three charities close to our hearts. Rudi and myself are taking on the three peak challenge from 29th of May to the 1st of June 2018.

We aim to climb three peaks in fours days and each peak will be dedicated to one charity. The charities we have chosen are The Big C, All Hands and Hearts and Médecins Sans Frontières. The money we hope to raise will be split equally between these three charities. We would be grateful if you help us reach our target.

The Big C is a local charity helping to improve the affect by cancer. Big C funds four drop in support and information centres across Norfolk and Waveney that are used by thousands of people every year. The centres in Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, King’s Lynn and Norwich provide valuable information about diagnosis, treatments, side effects and recovery. We would love to give something back to say thanks for all their support. http://www.big-c.co.uk

All Hands and Hearts is a disaster response charity that provides valuable aid to communities around the world who have experienced large scale natural disasters such as the earthquake in Nepal. All the work is undertaken by volunteers and I was lucky enough to volunteer for a short time with the team in Yapatera, near Piura in Norther Peru after they suffered major flooding due to the el nino. The charity blew my mind with the incredible work they take on, pain stakingly rebuilding schools with practically no modern day building equipment. We would love to give something back for their continued work in other parts of the world such as Mexico, Dominican Republic and many many more countries. https://www.allhandsandhearts.org

The final charity we would like to show support to is Médecins Sans Frontières. In a world that is increasingly politicalised and difficult to navigate with wars and conflicts that are effecting millions of people Médecins Sans Frontières offer help and support to millions of people. In 2015, over 30,000 personnel—mostly local doctors, nurses and other medical professionals, logistical experts, water and sanitation engineers and administrators, provided medical aid in over 70 countries. The vast majority of staff are volunteers. https://www.msf.org.uk/about-us
