A few guys and I have decided to undertake the National Three Peaks Challenge for Macmillan Cancer Support (Charity Registration No. 261017). 

According to Wikipedia…

the National Three Peaks Challenge is an event in which participants attempt to climb the highest mountains of England, Scotland and Wales within 24 hours. Walkers climb each peak in turn and are driven from the foot of one mountain to the next. The three peaks are:

• Ben Nevis / Beinn Nibheis (1,345 m or 4,413 ft), the highest mountain in Scotland
• Scafell Pike (978 m or 3,209 ft), the highest mountain in England
• Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa (1,085 m or 3,560 ft), the highest mountain in Wales



The total distance walked is estimated at 42 kilometres (26 mi) or 44 km (27 mi), with a total ascent of 9,800 feet (3,000 m).

Why have we chosen to support Macmillan?

Both sides of my family have been affected by cancer and recently we have sadly lost 3 family members to the disease. We also have one member of the Redfern (Business) team currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The Macmillan nurses and staff were simply fantastic when dealing with those affected and despite their short time involved, they made an everlasting impression and inspired us to organise an event where all proceeds raised will go to the Macmillan charity.

The guys at Rebel UK who have also suffered loss of friends and family members from this horrible disease have also offered to design
some amazing T-shirts for this Challenge and are donating sales of these to Macmillan.
