I'm hiking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in under 12 hours because Accessible Arts & Media (AAM) has enriched so many lives including my own. Family members, Chris and Rose joined in Accessible Arts & Media runs inclusive creative learning programmes for disabled people, young people, older people and people with mental health problems. Their projects help over 800 people each year to: learn new skills; gain the confidence to have more of a say in the things that matter to them; explore and connect with the world around them in a safe, supportive, fun environment; make new friends and socialise; play an active part in their local community; and feel happier and healthier.Things are better when we all work together! Accessible Arts & Media and Hand & Voices singing and signing choir has always been an extraordinary heart felt part of my life and I am extremely blessed to have been a part of it :) All the people involved are inspirational and truly beautiful souls. It’s a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to give something back and support them all to continue on their journey, reaching for the stars and sparkling all the way.
11 hours and 15 minutes
The Yorkshire Peaks Challenge involves climbing Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside, often within 12 hours.
