I’m heading out to take on the Three Peaks Challenge for the third, and definitely final time, over the weekend of May 23–24.

I say third… I’ve technically completed it twice already, but I’ve got some unfinished business. I know I could have done better, and I’m determined to put that right one last time.

For those who aren’t familiar, the challenge involves summiting the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales, within 24 hours. Simple, really… 😅

So what have I done to prepare?

In 2025, I averaged around 21,000 steps per day, and I’ve nudged that up to around 21,500–22,000 in 2026. I’ve also (brace yourself) stopped drinking alcohol to give myself the best chance possible. For me, that’s no small sacrifice, I haven’t had anything stronger than Christmas cake since September 2025. By the time I start the first climb, that’ll be nearly 9 months!

So why do it again?

Firstly, I genuinely love walking, it does wonders for both my physical and mental wellbeing.

But more importantly, I’m doing this to raise funds for Enrych, a charity that means a great deal to me. Based in Leicestershire and founded in 1986 by Leonard Cheshire and Sue Ryder, they support people with poor mental health, disabilities, and neurodiverse conditions to live life to the fullest.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting their work as a partner, and now as a Trustee. The funds raised from this challenge will go specifically towards their employability support, helping people who may have lacked opportunity, direction or confidence to move closer to meaningful, sustainable work. That’s something I care deeply about.

Why is this so important?

Too many disabled young people leave education full of potential but without the confidence or support to take their next step. Once that moment is lost, it’s incredibly hard to get it back. Enrych’s employability support steps in at this critical time, helping young people build belief in themselves, develop life skills and see a future that feels possible. Your donation can stop a young person from being left behind and help them move into adulthood with hope, confidence and purpose.

How can you help?

If you’re able to sponsor me, I’d be incredibly grateful. But honestly, encouragement, messages, or even a bit of light-hearted abuse all help too. If you see me out walking in the run-up, feel free to shout “hurry up ....!”, it all counts as motivation.

Every bit of support helps make a real difference. Thank you.
