This September, we – Sam Oldroyd, Matt Denham, Joe Dunn-Nally, Nabeel Akhtar, and Jalman Dhesi – will be taking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge in memory of our dear friend and former colleague, Leanne Pearce, who sadly passed away last year.

Leanne was a wonderful person whose kindness, laughter, and friendship touched so many lives. To honour her memory, we are raising money for Birmingham Mind, a charity close to her and our hearts that provides vital mental health support and services to those who need it most.

The challenge will see us climb Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough – a 24-mile trek with over 5,000ft of ascent – with a goal time of within 12 hours. It won’t be easy, but we’re determined to push ourselves to complete it for Leanne who we're sure will be giggling away at our pain.

Every donation, big or small, will make a huge difference and help us keep Leanne’s memory alive by supporting others.
