Rahil 3 Peaks Challenge! · 5 June 2010
I NEED YOU!!
In June 2010 myself and 7 friends are taking on the UK 3 peaks challenge for Cancer Research UK.
I hear you all asking but why??
A close friend was diagnosed with testicular cancer last year. Seeing his enourmous determination and positive attitude as well as the wonderful way he was treated under the NHS inspired the hearts of all around him. When we asked him what we could do to help he said,
"I want to bhangra on a mountain, not just 1 mountain, not just 2 mountains, but 3! "
So here we are on this epic journey
The Plan: Climb the UK's 3 highest peaks (Ben Nevis, Scaffel Pike and Snowdon) in 24 hours. Thats over 24 miles / 3000 meters of vertical climbing in 24 hours.
