In May Nic Goulbourn, Craig Fitter, Mike Urquhart, Lyndon Marfell, Kev Pilgrim and Dan Holder will be undertaking the 3 peaks challenge.  For those of you who are not familiar with the event, it is a fast-paced and physically challenging trek across the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales. Considered one of Britain’s toughest outdoor challenges, the National 3 Peaks Challenge takes in the dizzy heights of Ben Nevis (1,344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (1,085m).

Over the course of 24 hours, we will trek around 26 miles and ascend to a total height of almost 3,000m. The challenge will start at the foot of Ben Nevis, followed by Scarfell Pike and finish at the foot of Snowdon having reached all three summits.  This is a tough challenge which requires plenty of grit and determination.

We are undertaking the challenge to raise money on behalf of the Great Ormond Street Hospital and in memory of Scarlett Lill.  The Great Ormond Street works hard every day to look after our children and cared for beautiful Scarlett as written by Scarlett’s parents Octavia & Richard:

"On the 11th of September2014 Scarlett died suddenly and unexpectedly from bleeding and swelling in her brain. This was caused by a large tumour called a glioblastoma that we were
completely unaware of and that grew over a matter of only several weeks. Subsequently, Scarlett became severely ill very quickly and died within the space of a day.

Scarlett received amazing care from the London Ambulance Service, the Paediatric Accident and Emergency staff at West Middlesex University Hospital and, finally, at the Great Ormond Street Hospital. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts they were unable to save her.

The nature of Scarlett’s death meant that she could help others by donating her organs and we are proud that she has changed the lives and given hope to two adults, three children, and of course, their families.

Scarlett was a wonderful little girl and a joy to behold. Vibrant, kind, fun, generous and she had a beautiful soul. Aged four she was a social butterfly, a loving big sister to Arthur, had just learnt to swim in the summer and she was very excited about starting at her Mummy's school. She was adored by all her family and friends and she lives on in our hearts and memories.

Scarlett would be proud of everyone’s fundraising efforts, especially as we are helping other children that are unwell. So, any contributions, large or small, will be gratefully received by GOSHCC and help to keep Scarlett’s memory alive."
