Barneys challenges

scott carruthers is raising money for Young Epilepsy
In memory of Barney Blackburn

Walk for Young Epilepsy · 1 February 2023 to 1 April 2023 ·

Young Epilepsy is dedicated to standing up for children and young people with epilepsy. We’re here for them. But we need your support because epilepsy is limiting the chances of thousands of children today and may continue to do so for the rest of their lives. Together we create possible.

Story

Welcome to the Just Giving page for Barney. All funds raised are going to Young Epilepsy, a charity close to Barney who passed away in January 2020 over night. Together a group of his friends are going to be taking part in a few challenges to raise money for this amazing cause that was very close to his heart.

Originally we set out to partake in 2 challenges, the Lake District 5 peaks and the National 3 peak. But then COVID hit...

A few months later with a few unfitter friends, we are going to be attempting the Yorkshire 3 Peaks (Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough) a gruelling 14 hours hike spanning 24.5 miles. Together my self, Jack Shale, Lewis Webster, Paul Custus and Josh Wright will be attempting to take on this task with 3 weeks notice.

The challenges wont end here but it seems a better place to start than any. 

Any donation is greatly appreciated and will go towards making a difference to the lives of young people with epilepsy and related conditions.
