A group of girls hope to take on the 3 Peaks Challenge in May. The challenge includes scaling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon, a total height of 10,052 ft in 24 hours. The team are being by two mountain guides on Ben Nevis & Snowdon plus x3 drivers - Bob Green, Cameron Whyte & Glen. 

It all came about after one member had a regular mammogram screening and was referred to the Breast Clinic in Irvine for further scans. At this stage lumps were discovered and biopsies were taken but she was most fortunate as both were benign. However, it made the group all very aware that in the UK we are very fortunate to have the Breast Screening Service and Breast & Prostate Awareness which is part of Cancer Research.

Sponsorship has been kindly donated by 'Cairn Estate Agency' in Glasgow toward costs and a mini bus from 'Glen Rental' in Carlisle. We'd be so grateful for any donations on this page. However we are also raising funds for two local mums and their families who are suffering from this dreadful disease. Forms can be found in 'Elysian in Castle Douglas and these donations will go directly towards Kay Livingston and Rachel Houston for a family weekend away or towards travel costs during their treatment. Many thanks for your support. In the meantime the team are out and about in our hiking boots, braving the weather and getting miles on hills!
