On Wednesday 14^th July Cameron, Joanna, Bob, Simon and Doug are setting off to undertake the UK 3 Peaks Challenge.  It comprises Ben Nevis (1,344m, Scotland) Scafell Pike (978m, England) and Snowdon (1,085m, Wales) in a gruelling, sub-24 hour, sleepless onslaught traversing the British Isles! Climbing the 3 Peaks in isolation is perhaps achievable, but when you factor in no sleep and non-stop travel between the 3 mountains (not to mention the fact that we got lost after 20 minutes going up Scafell Pike on a practice run) it looks like a more daunting challenge.

Our training is now well underway. We’ve trekked up Scafell Pike and done the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, but we now only have one month left to develop any remaining lung capacity within ‘TFL air-zones’ before setting off. If anyone has any further suggestions on how to simulate a mountainous training environment within the M25, please give us a shout. With a fast-approaching start date, any donations to our chosen charity, the British Heart Foundation, will only serve to motivate us further!

Please donate if you can. No matter how much or how little, all monies will be greatly appreciated and it’s for a great cause. Accenture UK has agreed to match all donations up to a total of £500.

The following points show how your donation will make a difference to the British Heart Foundation’s work:
