Did you know that every day, statistically, seven people will be medically discharged from the armed forces? 

Some will have life-changing injuries, may develop PTSD, are more susceptible to clinical depression and a have a lower employment rate than non-veterans.

We're 8 friends that with our love for hillwalking, will raise money for Help For Heroes charity effort in supporting our veterans through emotional and physical rehabilitation so that they can be helped in regaining their purpose and having a positive impact on society.

We are doing this by completing the 3 peaks challenge and supporting Help For Heroes Charity by raising over £1000. 

Why we selected Help For Heroes

During the ten years, they've directly helped more than 17,000 individuals and their families. Still, there are thousands more who need it support and the £1000 we will raise will go directly to that cause. 

So please donate. 7-9 pounds could be all it takes to reach our goal. From all of us, thank you for any donations given.
