I will be climbing the 3 highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales over the weekend of 24th and 25th of June with support from my family.

I will start Ben Nevis around mid-afternoon on Saturday the 24th (Armed Forces Day), then tackle Scafell Pike in the early hours of the 25th, with the intention of finishing the final descent off Snowdon within 24 hours.

My son and daughter (Callum and Harriet) and her boyfriend (Ben) will be joining for all three peaks, whilst my wife Rachel has the task of driving us between the 3 peaks.

VIVO Defence support all 3 beneficiary funds. I have elected to support the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity as I served in the Royal Navy for 22 years. Many thanks for all your support.

We are delighted that VIVO Defence has decided to support the Royal Navy community through staff fundraising activity to support our work.

Beneficiaries lie at the heart of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity's purpose, it is our duty to remain focused on their needs. Since 2007, we have funded projects and facilities that boost morale for those who serve today. We also distribute millions of pounds annually to military charities which care for the children, families and veterans of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines.

We hope you will be willing to help us continue this work by making a donation, organising fundraising activities with your colleagues or taking part in one of our exciting events. To let us know about your planned fundraising, or for help with any questions, please contact fundraising@rnrmc.org.uk.
