🏔️ THREE PEAKS, ONE JOURNEY HOME ❤️
Mark & Kristian’s Father-and-Son Charity Challenge 2027
3 Mountains | 24 Hours | A Walk from Wales to Bletchley | One Incredible Cause
❤️ Our Story
Hi everyone!
We’re Mark and Kristian, a father and son from Bletchley, Milton Keynes.
In May 2027, we’re taking on the biggest physical and mental challenge of our lives to raise £5,000 for Forever Colours Children’s Hospice.
I’m Mark, a proud dad of six children, two of whom are autistic. My 26-year-old son Kristian will be taking on every mountain and every mile of this challenge alongside me.
As a dad, family means absolutely everything to me.
Having six children has taught me the importance of love, patience, understanding and always being there for one another. Being a parent to two autistic children has also shown me how important it is for families to feel understood, valued and supported.
That’s one of the reasons why helping other families means so much to us.
🌈 Why Forever Colours Children’s Hospice?
Forever Colours Children’s Hospice supports children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions and their families.
We want to raise awareness of the charity’s work and help it continue supporting families who face incredibly difficult circumstances.
We know the challenge ahead of us will be tough, but the mountains and miles we’re choosing to tackle are temporary.
For many of the families supported by Forever Colours, the challenges they face are part of everyday life.
We can choose to take on this challenge. These families don’t get to choose the circumstances they face.
That thought will keep us going when things get difficult.
🏔️ Three Peaks in 24 Hours
On Saturday 22 May 2027, we’ll attempt to complete the National Three Peaks Challenge in just 24 hours.
We’ll be climbing:
* Ben Nevis – Scotland’s highest mountain
* Scafell Pike – England’s highest mountain
* Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) – Wales’s highest mountain
Three mountains. Three countries. Just 24 hours.
But reaching the final mountain won’t mean the end of our challenge.
It will only be the beginning of our journey home.
🚶♂️ Walking All the Way Home
On Monday 24 May 2027, we’ll begin the next stage of our challenge: walking the entire route from Wales back to Bletchley, Milton Keynes.
No shortcuts. No skipping sections.
Just a father and son, walking mile after mile, day after day.
We’ll face aching legs, tired feet, unpredictable weather and moments when we’ll need to dig deep to keep going.
Our aim is to arrive home on Saturday 5 June 2027.
And that’s when something truly special will happen.
❤️ The Most Important Mile
After completing the Three Peaks and walking all the way home from Wales, our final mile will be the one that means the most.
Families supported by Forever Colours Children’s Hospice have confirmed they’ll join us for the final mile into Bletchley.
We’ll walk those final steps together with some of the very families we’re fundraising for.
We’re also hoping to bring together local supporters, businesses and community representatives to celebrate the finish.
The exact finishing location in Bletchley will be confirmed nearer the time.
For us, that final mile won’t just be about finishing a challenge.
It will be about community, family, hope and showing people they’re not alone.
🎙️ Our Story on MKFM
We’re excited to be sharing our challenge on MKFM on Tuesday 21st October 2026.
We’re hoping our interview will help spread the word across Milton Keynes and encourage more people to support Forever Colours.
If you’ve heard about us through MKFM, thank you so much for taking the time to visit our page!
💷 Help Us Raise £5,000
Our fundraising target is £5,000, and we’d be incredibly grateful for your support.
Whether you can donate £2, £5, £10, £20 or more, every contribution will help us get closer to our goal.
If you can’t donate, sharing our page with friends, family, colleagues and local businesses would mean so much.
Every donation and every share helps us spread awareness of this incredible charity.
🙏 A Message From Mark & Kristian
We’re not professional athletes.
We’re just a father and son who want to push ourselves beyond what we thought possible, while doing something meaningful for children and families.
There will be times when we’re exhausted.
There will be mountains that feel endless and miles that seem to go on forever.
But whenever things get tough, we’ll remember why we started.
We’ll remember the families we’re supporting, the people who have donated and everyone who’s cheering us on.
And we’ll keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Three mountains. One long walk home. One incredible cause.
Please help us turn this challenge into something special.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for every donation, every share and every message of encouragement.
Mark & Kristian ❤️
