I am taking part in a National Three Peaks challenge on 12th July 2013, with the aim of walking up and down the three highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis) England (Scafel Pike) and Wales (Snowdon), all within 24 hours (or thereabouts).

 

We are a team of three and we are raising money for Acorns Childrens Hospice, which have cared for my brother and his family since 2011, when my brother's son was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Sadly, Mac died in 2011 and so we are taking on this challenge so that other families in a similar situation can benefit from the care that Acorns are able to provide, as a result of the donations they receive.

 

My brother, Dave, has written the following message on his Just Giving page:

"In 2010, my son Mackenzie (Mac) was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Following radiotherapy, we had six months where we were able to spend quality time with Mac taking him to Disneyland, Legoland, getting him to meet his heroes when we went to the Top Gear recordings and buying him all the lego that he could build. Sadly, the tumour became terminal in April 2011 and Acorns looked after both Mac and the rest of my family both before and after he passed away. To this day we are still being looked after by Acorns in various ways and we want to raise money so that other families and other children can benefit from the superb care and support that Acorns offer."
