Sadly we suddenly lost our father Neil earlier this year. Dad spent two weeks in the Neuro Critical Care Unit at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, where the medical professionals and other staff took great care of him during his battle with meningitis. As a thanks to the doctors and nurses, Charles, Heather and Craig will be taking on the Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for the Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust (ACT). The money that we raise will go towards supporting the Neuro ward that treat a range of life-threatening conditions – more info on the ACT can be found here. https://act4addenbrookes.org.uk/#

The Three Peaks involves climbing the highest peak in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours. To add an additional layer of jeopardy, BMW Cambridge have kindly agreed to provide us the latest all-electric SUV, so we will be testing whether its range can cover the 462 mile driving distance between Ben Nevis, Scaffel Pike and Snowdon. Alongside plotting emergency charging points, we are ramping up our training – the stepper at David Lloyd has never been used so much!

We will begin our challenge on evening of 8th August and keep you updated….
