Story
Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page. Mental health has almost become a pandemic over the last three years and too many people suffer in silence unable to find the support needed.
I have myself and those close to me have suffered in addition to the 1 in 6 people who report feelings of anxiety or depression EVERY WEEK. Along with Luke & Luke, we have decided to take on this challenge and do our part.
The Challenge
On July 23rd 2022 we are planning to hike the Yorkshire three peaks which is considered a grueling challenge on its own but to make it that little bit harder we will be strapping ourselves with 20kg weighted vests, almost 1/3 of the average males body weight!
The hike will consist of summiting Pen-y-ghent (2227ft), Whernside (2415ft) and Ingleborough (2372ft), covering a total of 38.6kwith a total elevation gain of 5200ft in less than 12 hours.
