I will be joining 30 brave (or slightly insane) members of the IT Lab team from London and Manchester, along with a support team, to take part in the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge on Saturday 16th September 2017. We aim to conquer the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, a 24.2mile (39k) hike with approximately 5190 feet (1582m) of assent. 

We’ve put the training in (we’ve realised there are a lot more hills to train on near Manchester than in London!), the “bunk barn” is booked, and now I need your donations to make it all worthwhile! All donations will go to our partner charity Maggies. Built in the grounds of NHS hospitals, Maggie’s Centres are warm and welcoming places with professional staff on hand to help people find their way through cancer. They are places to find practical advice about benefits and eating well; places where qualified experts provide emotional support; places to meet other people or simply sit quietly with a cup of tea.

For more information please visit www.maggiescentres.org. By supporting me and IT Lab you will be helping us to enable Maggies to provide emotional and social support for people with cancer andtheir family and friends. Any donation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your generosity.
