As a team of two, Ajay Dasari (aka AKD) & Chaitanya Deshpande (aka CD), we are taking on the Snowdonia Three Peaks Challenge — conquering Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa, Garnedd Ugain, and Yr Lliwedd — to support the vital work of Crisis and the Simon Community.

This challenge is demanding and inspiring in equal measure, and we are stepping up to it with a shared purpose: to help end homelessness across the UK.

🫶 Our Team Journey So Far

This challenge is the biggest one we’ve taken on — but it isn’t the first.

Over the past six months, we’ve been preparing step by step, day by day, building our resilience through a mix of everyday walks and tougher treks.

Some highlights from our journey:

🥾 Regular daily walks to build our base fitness and discipline

⛰️ A trek up Ingleborough, one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, pushing ourselves through long, steep climbs

❄️ A freezing‑cold ascent to Hebden Bridge’s Stoodley Pike, battling icy winds and winter conditions

💪 Supporting each other through every climb, every early morning, and every sore-leg day

All of this has led us to now…

ready to take on Snowdonia’s iconic Three Peaks together.

💙 Why We’re Taking On This Challenge

Homelessness affects thousands of people across the UK — and its impact reaches far beyond losing a home. It means losing safety, certainty, and often hope.

Crisis, Lloyds Banking Group and Simon Community believe everyone should have a safe and secure place to call home.

Our ambitious partnership will improve access to truly affordable, high quality homes and support those who have experienced homelessness with tailored support to rebuild their lives and reach their full potential.

Together, we have surpassed £4.9 million in fundraising from the partnership. This is an incredible achievement but we can't stop here. More people than ever across the UK are facing homelessness and are in need of our support.

Homelessness is not inevitable, together we can end it.

By supporting Crisis and the Simon Community, you’ll help provide:

Warm and safe emergency accommodation

Mental health and wellbeing support

Long-term routes back into stable housing

Employment, skills, and training opportunities

Advocacy that drives meaningful, long-term change

Your donation directly supports real people rebuilding their lives.

🏔️ About the Snowdonia Three Peaks

Our challenge covers three of Snowdonia’s most iconic summits:

Snowdon / Yr Wyddfa – the highest peak in Wales

Garnedd Ugain (Crib y Ddysgl) – a steep, technical ascent

Yr Lliwedd – rugged, exposed, and rewarding

It’s a full-day endurance trek, with demanding climbs, unpredictable weather, and long hours on our feet — and we’re taking it on together.
