In the last weekend of June I will be doing the national three peaks challenge along with a group of Abbott colleagues. The aim is to climb the highest peaks of Wales, England and Scotland.

As you can see from the gallery my walking boots do not have many miles in them! Aside from a recent training day in the Brecon Beacons my mountain climbing is limited to almost none. I definitely need to get training if I'm to beat the 24 hour clock for the three peaks + travel time. 

We'll all be raising money for the Make-A-Wish foundation and all donations are gratefully received. Wish me luck!

Make-A-Wish® UK creates life-changing wishes that revive the childhood that critical illness takes away, bringing light and joy at the darkest of times for a child and their loved ones. But right now, there are 60,000 children in the UK living with a critical condition, and they don’t have the resources to be that light for everyone. Your generous support will help them step closer to achieving their vision: to grant a wish to every eligible child. Together, we have the power to light up the darkness.
