Welcome to the EADS Tenovus 3 Peaks Challenge Fundraising Page…

On June 13^th, two teams of eight from EADS will be taking part in the 3 Peaks Challenge to raise money for cancer charity Tenovus. This will involve climbing the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) AND travelling between the three in under 24 hours. What this actually means, travelling aside, is 25.7 miles of walking over about 15 hours, including 11,178 feet of climbing... Surely that’s worth a few quid?!

The intrepid adventurers undertaking this challenge are:

TEAM THUNDER                                          TEAM LIGHTNING

Rhea Hudson                                              Huw Thomas

Nicola Dawson                                            Helen Joseph

Madeleine Sherratt                                      Helen Mann

Nerys Caplin                                               Richard Flint

Peter Wilton-Jones                                      Chris Hose

Trevor Flint                                                Martin Ferguson

Steven Murphy                                           Claire Moseley

Mark Hall                                                   Nick Cockayne

Training is already well underway; we’ve been doing all sorts from walking weekends away to night hikes in preparation for Scafell Pike, which we will be walking in the dark.

The EADS Welsh 3000s Challenge team have also very kindly agreed to help our fundraising efforts and direct people to this page too. They will be climbing all 15 peaks over 3000 feet in Wales in under 24 hours (only without the luxury of minibus journeys to break it up; this is a constant walk).

Any amount that you feel you can spare, big or small, will be hugely appreciated by everyone doing the challenges and everyone at Tenovus.
