Story

Twelve of us (Tori, Ady, Marcin, Wojtek, Charlie, Andy, Barny, Sat, Owen, Claire, Nikki and Janek), ably assisted by our two fantastic drivers (Papa Saller and Papa Behnke) have decided to come together and take on the 3 Peaks Challenge - climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon within 24 hours! We're due to complete it between 17:00 on 20th August and 17:00 on 21st August. Yes - we're all up for a personal challenge, but we also wanted to help little Leon!

Our friends and for some of us, family - Kasia and Charlie - have a little son called Leon. Leon was born prematurely at 29 weeks and 3 days weighing under 3lbs. He suffered a brain haemorrhage and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at 16 months old. Together with your support, we wanted to do our bit to help his family raise £60,000 towards a surgery called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) which permanently cuts the nerves that cause spasticity. He will also require physio equipment and intensive physiotherapy following the surgery. This is Leon's best chance at being able to walk, free of pain, either with equipment or unaided. PLEASE HELP LEON TAKE HIS FIRST STEPS.
