Hi everyone,

So I have decided to take on another challenge, this time it's the National 3 peaks Challenge in 24 hours!!

I will be undertaking the challenge on Saturday 9th May 2026.

The challenge involves climbing the 3 highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours.

I will start at Ben Nevis at 0830 on the Saturday, then move onto Scaefell Pike to start the climb at 2030 before then travelling to Snowdon to start the climb at 0530 and hopefully completing nefore 0830 on the Sunday.

All in all it is around 24 miles of hiking, climbing and trekking and 10/11 hours travelling on the mini bus. I have signed up to complete this with a specialist adventure group to help guide me and complete the driving to all the destinations.

All money raised will go to help fund research into lobular breast cancer, this is the second most common type of breast cancer but unfortunately it is under researched due a lack of funding. This is obviously something that is very close to myself as my wife Jenny was diagnosed with ductal breast cancer in 2021 but only discovered that she had lobular breast cancer during her first mastectomy.

Below details how the money will be used to help fund research into lobular breast cancer and details about the amazing people who are championing the case to raise awareness and funding.

The Lobular Moon Shot Project was set up in 2023 by Dr Susan Michaelis to raise money for research into lobular breast cancer. https://www.lobularmoonshot.org/

The Manchester Breast Centre, established in 2005, aims to promote collaborative working among breast cancer specialists in Manchester, underpinning research and allowing access to a wide range of state of the art facilities. Across the centre, world-class scientists and clinicians are working together to ensure their research makes as big an impact as possible, as fast as possible. The Manchester Breast Centre is working closely with the Lobular Moon Shot Project to establish a programme of research focused on Lobular Breast Cancer to find specific and effective treatments that will benefit patients with this form of breast cancer.

This JustGiving page enables people wishing to donate to lobular breast cancer research, to make a donation directly to the Manchester Breast Centre - part of the University of Manchester and partner research organisation of the Lobular Moon Shot Project.
