Bunch of lads setting themselves a challenge to complete the challenge as quick as possible and raising money for a local charity.
Fundraising pageDo you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of BOLTON SMILEY FACES and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. UPDATE - Due to the travel restrictions in place still regarding the previously planned trip and flights repeatedly being cancelled, a new challenge has been organised to raise money for Bolton Smiley Faces. On the 09th October 2021 I will be undertaking the National three peaks challenge with a group of good mates, with a combined ascent of 3,062m across a walking distance of 23 miles to be completed withing 24 hours, this will prove a difficult challenge! I have decided as part of my trip to help raise money for a charity that is close to the heart for me and my family BOLTON SMILEY FACES. As many of you may know, my little sister-in-law Lily has Down Syndrome and she is one of the most beautiful souls you could ever meet. My mother-in-law Jenny engages closely with BOLTON SMILEY FACES, and Lily attends the activities the charity provides. Bolton Smiley Faces provide monthly support group meetings with activities to support children who have Downs Syndrome living in Bolton and the surrounding areas to include speech therapy, art therapy, signalong (sign language), activities to support development of fine and gross motor skills. They also provide family activities during school holidays. With the charity being a small local charity, they do not receive much funding and any donation you make will massively help. Please contact me if you have any queries on how you can get involved or help. Many thanks in advance, JP N.B. - The trip is self funded and is paid for entirely by myself. All money donated by you will be donated to Bolton Smiley Faces, albeit there are platform fees which are automatically taken by GoFundMe.
The National Three Peaks Challenge takes in the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales, often in 24 hours.
