This summer, four dedicated members of the Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association (UWFRA) are taking on an epic challenge; their own Wharfedale Three Peaks Challenge while carrying a stretcher on their backs!

This will be no easy feat. Although the stretcher is designed to be carried on the hill it is not the comfiest and will be a true test of endurance and stamina over 3 peaks and 17 miles.

Their mission? To raise crucial funds for the refurbishment of their communications vehicle, equipping it with cutting-edge technology to enhance rescue operations. The estimated cost of the refurbishment is £5,000. Every contribution will help ensure UWFRA continues to save lives above and below ground.
