After raising over £4,000 for Parkinson's UK in 2022, BCS are once again preparing to embark on a new challenge.

On Friday 9th June 2023, BCS will set out to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge in order to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge encompasses taking on the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres), usually within 12 hours.

This challenge is a 24-miles (38.6km) round trip route, and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent. These hills form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Cancer Research UK is a globally recognized non-profit organization that is committed to advancing cancer research, providing vital information to the public, and advocating for better treatments. Their efforts are aimed at improving cancer survival rates and reducing the impact of this disease on individuals and families. They achieve this by supporting talented researchers, medical professionals, and nurses, as well as sharing accurate and up-to-date information about cancer with the public. Cancer Research UK is at the forefront of the fight against cancer, working tirelessly to beat this disease and improve the lives of those affected by it.

Cancer Research is the chosen BCS fundraising charity of 2023 with multiple challenges being taken on by the team this year in order to raise funds.
