Me and my Select Group 2 colleagues are set to show our support for coach Gary Willard and raise money for Leukemia Care.

For me this is also a cause close to my heart as my Nannan sadly passed away following a long battle with Leukaemia and my girlfriend's gran is currently battling the disease.

Wanting to stand in solidarity with Gary, who is currently undergoing treatment for blood cancer, SG2 got together and chose to embark on the ‘3 Peaks Challenge’ this summer.

We will also be joined by a number of PGMOL support staff, climbing to the summit of the highest mountain peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours.

Gary is a hugely-popular figure within the group and the best wishes of all at PGMOL are with the former FIFA, Premier League and EFL referee as he continues to battle the illness.

Our gruelling challenge will begin in the early hours of Wednesday 7th June in Scotland and finish the following day in Wales, with the group having eclipsed the three highest peaks in the United Kingdom. 

The group will be ready for kick off in early June, driven by fact we are showing our support for Gary and Leukemia Care. We'd really appreciate it you can show your support by sponsoring us!
