On the 5th September I will be taking part in the 3 Peak Challenge and raising money for Southend Start a Heart Charity.

The 3 peak challenge involves climbing the three highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales in 72 hours. It involves a total walking distance of 23 miles and a total ascent of 3064 metres.

I recently got involved with Start a heart charity when I attended their free CPR and defibrillator training.

They are a fantastic local charity who maintain a network of public defibrillators in the Southend area.

The defibrillators they have can cost up to £1200 and need to be replaced every 8 years. Batteries last only 4 years and cost £350.00 and pads last 2 years or are replaced after use at a cost of around £60 per set. This is all done by volunteers and charity donations.

Please if you are unable to donate I would ask that you share my page to bring awareness to this amazing charity.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
