Why We’re Doing the 2026 3 Peaks Challenge

This challenge is about friendship, adventure, and giving something back.

Ian Marks is a close friend who we regularly go on adventures with. Despite living with a heart condition, Ian is one of the most humble, funny, and determined people you could meet — someone who never lets his health define him.

In 2018, Ian received exceptional care from the Cardiology Department at Hywel Dda Health Board, and they have continued to support him ever since. This challenge is our way of saying thank you, while raising vital funds to help them continue their incredible work.

Taking on this challenge alongside Ian are his friends Dan Robinson, Simon Thomas, Geraint Davies, Gavin Wilkins, and Rhys Williams. Together, we’ll be cycling three of the toughest climbs in the UK in a single day — pushing ourselves physically, supporting each other throughout, and having a few laughs along the way.

Every donation will go directly to Hywel Dda Health Board Charities – Cardiology Department, helping support patients and families when they need it most.

Thank you so much for your support — it genuinely means a lot.
