Story
Together with colleagues at JLL, I will be undertaking the Three Peaks Challenge, climbing the highest mountains in the UK!
The challenge starts in Scotland where we will hike 4,409ft up to the Peak of Ben Nevis, which is the tallest of the three. From there our 4, very kind dedicated drivers will drive south into the Lake District where we will climb Scafell Pike, 3,209ft. We will then head to the third and final Peak, which is the Welsh mountain of Snowdon hiking 3,560ft and all within 24 hours!
Our group set off on 13th September 2018, with the aim of raising money for St Peter's Hospice, JLL Bristol’s chosen charity, following the great loss of Fiona Baker, who was a big part of the JLL family.
St Peter’s Hospice are Bristol's ONLY adult hospice caring for local people with life-limiting illnesses. Their commitment is to improve the quality of life of patients while extending care and support to their families and loved ones.
All of their care is provided free of charge, but costs them around £20,000 a day to provide for which they rely mostly on gifts in wills, donations, fundraising and income from their Charity shops.
To read more about the charity, you can visit their website which is linked below: https://www.stpetershospice.org.uk/
We want to raise as much as we possibly can so ask that you dig deep for such a great cause! If you would rather sponsor the whole team instead, please visit our just giving page.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. Please also ensure that you tick the ‘Gift Aid’ box to ensure that Gift Aid (an additional 28%) can be reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer at no extra cost to you!
Training has started with various training walks scheduled and individual training well underway, follow us on Instagram @JLL3Peaks to follow and support our journey!
