Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My name is James Bastin, I’m 38 years young. I have lived with an acquired brain injury since the young age of 19.
This year I will be taking on the famous 3 peak challenge and completing this over 7 days.
First, we travel to Scotland to complete Ben Nevis with two of my support workers, Aaron and Holly. Ben Nevis will take between 7-8 hours up to the summit and back down.
Next, we head to Scarfel Pike in beautiful Lake District. This section of the challenge will take between 5-6 hours to complete.
On completing of the first two mountains, I return home to attend my brother’s wedding. The final leg of the challenge takes place in Wales summiting Mount Snowdon on my 39th Birthday. This can take anything from 4-7 hours to complete.
This year, I am raising money for The Silverlining Charity. A charity supporting people after brain injury.
