Raising money for Growing Well

Story

Connor and I wanted to do something BIG to raise money for this fantastic charity, Growing Well. I have benefited massively from the help Growing Well gave me last year. Volunteering with their wonderful team in West Cumbria, I saw my mental health and wellbeing improve no end, and I learned lots of new skills in the process, and made some wonderful friends. It would seem entirely wrong not to try and ensure other people in Cumbria can benefit from their fantastic support.

So, the BIG thing we're going to do is trek to the summits of three of Spain's highest peaks - Veleta (3,394m), Pico de Loma Pelada (3,183m), and Mulhacen (3,482m) - over three consecutive days in October. It's still going to be hot, it's at altitude, and, at the start of this year, I was getting puffed out going up the stairs. Ruddy mad, right?

By the way, the trip is entirely self-financed, so anything you're generous enough to donate will go straight to this awesome charity.
