This isn’t just another challenge.

This one’s personal.

We’ve watched our girls, Belles and Kacey, struggle in a system that’s supposed to support them.

We’ve seen their confidence knocked, their spark dimmed, and the heartbreak that comes when a child starts to believe they’re the problem, when really, it’s the system that’s broken.

As parents, that feeling of helplessness cuts deep.

You fight, you shout, you fill out form after form, and somehow, it still isn’t enough.

Our frustration isn’t a weakness. It’s the fire that keeps us going.

And this time, we’re channelling that fire into action.

We’re taking on the Three Peaks in Three Days Challenge to raise money for CONTACT, a charity that gives families like ours the support and hope they desperately need.

Because every step we take up those mountains is a step towards something bigger…

A future where children like Belles and Kacey are understood, supported, and celebrated.

Every mile

Every blister

Every ounce of effort

is for them, and for every family fighting the same fight.

We’re not just climbing mountains.

We’re climbing towards change.

Join us. Support us. Walk beside us.

Because together, we can build something better for our kids.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page, and wish us luck.
