Phillip & Ashlie are taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for Big Issue North charity.

For anyone who doesn't know, that's a 24-mile route covering Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, with over 5,000 feet of climbing along the way. It will be a tough day, but that's part of the appeal.

Hiking has been something Phillip & Ashlie have enjoyed together for over 10 years. In fact, on one of their first dates, Phillip convinced Ashlie to walk up a hill. She'd never been hiking before and wasn't exactly an outdoors enthusiast – unless wandering around a festival counted as exercise. Somehow, though, she enjoyed it and they have hiked together ever since!

As they were searching for their next challenge, they thought it would be a good opportunity to raise some money for a cause that means something to them both.

Ashlie works for The Big Life Group and already sees the value of the support provided across our communities. They also know how important fundraising is in helping organisations continue their work to help those less fortunate.

Every donation, regardless of size, helps support people who need it most. That's why they're raising money for Big Issue North, which provides practical daily support to Big Issue vendors and others experiencing poverty and everyday hardship across the North.

If you'd like to support their fundraising, they would be hugely grateful for any contribution you can offer. Whether it's the cost of a coffee or a bit more, it will all go towards helping Big Issue North continue its work.

Thanks for reading and we all would like to wish Phillip & Ashlie the best of luck getting round all three peaks!
