A team of 5, including my Dad and I, are aiming to complete the Three Peaks Challenge in July 2018, attempting to climb Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (England) and Snowdon (Wales) in a 24 hour period. These three mountains make up the tallest mountains in each of their respective countries. The 24 hours includes the time taken to travel.
We have decided to take on the challenge and donate all proceedings to Willen Hospice as they provided a fantastic service to my mum and the rest of the family during the last moments of her life. The team work incredibly hard under extremely difficult conditions but always remain positive and supportive.
Willen Hospice provides specialist end-of-life care for adults, focusing on four key areas: specialist symptom control, emotional support, spiritual support and care for carers. Often the most distressing aspect of living with life-limiting illnesses is the types of pain and symptoms which can arise. Our team of dedicated staff and volunteers can give compassionate, specialist support to patients, and their family members, to help deal with, as they wish to, the physical and emotional effects of both their illness and treatments.
