What is our motivation?

Cancer touches everyone in some way.

It can be someone we know, a family member, someone we worked with, even someone we studied with.

Buck and I have lost loved ones from Cancer. All the pain and suffering this disease causes to the individual, the family and friends; It's hard.

This is why we are raising money for Macmillan Cancer support. They go all out to support the person and their families through this challenging time.

Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.

So how are we raising money?

We are scaling not one, or two, but three mountains totalling 3064m in height over 33km in 24 hours. It is more commonly known as the National 3 Peaks Challenge.

Normally this is completed over 3 days, but we will do all three in 24 hours.

We will start with the highest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis. We will then travel to the Lake District to climb Scafel Pike, Englands highest mountain. We will then travel to Wales to to climb Yr Wyddfa previously known as Snowdon.

The clock starts when we set off on the first hike up Nevis and the time finishes once we have completed Yr Wyddfa at the summit. The travel between peaks also counts towards the challenge.

We understand the challenge ahead of us. This is no short hop or easy ride. We have been training since October 2023 and are still getting our bodies and minds ready.

This is not a challenge we will fail at. We will succeed. With your help you can support us by donating. This spurs us on and keeps us motivated (Even through the cold winter months).

To see our progress and endeavours please follow our social media channels. We post updates, training hikes and will even send links to follow us on the actual hikes when undertook in July 2025.
