We're a small group hoping to take in the stunning sights of The Yorkshire Three Peaks before we embark onto The National Three Peaks in June. Wish us luck! Thanks.
Fundraising pageHi, On Saturday 23rd June, 2018 along with the team from 'Hope And Aid Direct' I will be embarking on what must be my toughest ever test - The National Three Peaks Challenge! We will be climbing the highest summits of Scotland, England and Wales with 24 hours. As if that wasn't enough on Saturday 12th May, 2018 I will also be attempting the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. This involves navigating 24 miles between 3 peaks in Yorkshire within 12 hours. Well, I may as well get myself in the spirit of things with a gentle warm up:) These challenges are a seriously tough task for anyone but I am determined to complete it for such a great cause. I really appreciate your donation - Think of it as a BOGOF! You donate for one you get the other for FREE! Please, please, please be generous with your donations so that Hope And Aid Direct can continue their good work (https://www.hopeandaiddirect.org.uk/).
