The 3 Peaks Challenge is one of the UK’s best known mountain challenge events, which involves climbing the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales. At midday on Wednesday 7^th June a team of 21 climbers made up of 11 EMCOR UK employees and 10 supply chain partners will commence the ascent of Ben Nevis, Scotland. This will be followed by Scafell Pike, England which will be climbed during the middle of the night and finishes at Mount Snowdon, Wales. The challenge is to climb the 3 highest mountains in the UK in just a 24-hour period. To complete the challenge the team must complete the 26 miles of walking, 11,182ft total ascent and 462 miles of travelling before midday on Thursday 8^th June.

We are doing this challenge to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, and our collective aim is to raise £62,483 which would pay for a Macmillan Nurse for 1 year, helping people living with cancer and their families receive essential medical, practical and emotional support.

As a Macmillan employee I know the impact that our services have on people affected by cancer and how they truly offer a lifeline to people at such a vulnerable time in their lives. I also know the huge demand we are facing for increased support and the funds needed to ensure we can be there for everyone who needs us. Macmillan is 98% publically funded, so without people like EMCOR UK raising money we simply couldn't offer the support that we do. I am thrilled to be joining this incredible team on their challenge and adding to their fundraising total <3
