Hey guys, welcome to my page!

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Archie Temperton. I'm a civil and structural engineering student at the University of Leeds, however I'm currently working as a trainee engineer on a placement year.

What's the plan?

Molly, Kasun and I are going to climb the 3 Peaks (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) and also navigate the 400 miles between them by foot. It's a bit a challenge, obviously, and geography was never my strength so I've enlisted 2 people with a little more knowledge to help me.

What's my reason?

I lost one of my grandfathers before I was even born to leukaemia, and then both of my grandmothers died when I was 3 years old, one to multiple myeloma and the other to ovarian cancer. I've had several family friends pass away from these awful diseases, and far too many more suffer due to something which in this era of medicine we should be able to beat. I truly believe that with enough time and effort put into research we can beat it once and for all. I'm hoping that with any donations our team can raise, we can get that one step closer to the end goal.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Please donate something if you can, we appreciate every penny we get.

If you would like to track our progress and see our updates during the challenge, please follow @mak_attack_mountains on instagram!

All the best,

Archie
