We are a group of three friends who started walking once a week after work to get a bit of fresh air and to de-stress... after challenging ourselves with a few big hills and a few long walks we are now ready to raise some money for charities which are close to our heart and to take on the challenge of the mighty Yorkshire Three Peaks!
<a href="http://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/emma-jollands86">Emma is raising funds for Dementia Care</a> as having one of her family members affected by this its a cause close to her heart and she is grateful for the specialist care they provide to people who can no longer care for themselves. Sophie is competing in the challenge in memory of her Grandparents and is <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/sophie-calpin">raising funds for St Gemma's Hospice</a> as they particularly helped and supported her Grandma Buzz. <a href="http://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tracylong1980">Tracy is raising funds for York Teaching Hospital</a>, in particular the Neurology and Stroke Units as these provided amazing care to her Mum and Dad when they were struck down with life threatening illnesses.
The Yorkshire Peaks Challenge involves climbing Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside, often within 12 hours.
