3 Peaks... 7 people... 2 drivers... 1 minibus...
The team "Elle's Angels" consisting of:
Walkers: Elle Vuitton, Elliot Parr-Byrne, Scott Parrish, Matthew Williamson, Victoria Buxton, Mark Parrish & Keith Simmons
Drivers & Support: Bob McLean & Luke Greep
We'll be attempting (and hopefully completing!!!) the National 3 Peaks Challenge between Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd of September 2018.
This challenge consists of hiking the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales; Snowden, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis all within 24 hours!!
We're fundraising for YoungMinds Trust:
The spotlight is on young people’s mental health like never before
- Did you know that 3 children in every classroom has a diagnosable
mental health problem, and that 1 in 10 children and young people, aged 15 – 16 suffer from mental health such as DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, or AND EATING DISORDER!
- 10% of young children DELIBERATELY HARM THEMSELVES REGULARLY
- Half of all MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS manifest BY THE AGE OF 14
The crisis in children and young people’s mental health is real and it is urgent. More children and young people than ever before are reaching out for help with their mental health. But for those who take that brave step, help is much too hard to find.
YoungMinds UK is a charity leading the fight for a future where all young minds are supported and empowered, whatever the challenges.
YoungMinds UK help to make sure children and young people get the best possible mental health support and have the resilience to overcome life’s difficulties.
Many thanks to our employer UTC Aerospace Systems (Plymouth) who are very kindly sponsoring the minibus and fuel so that all funds raised go to the charity.
