Story
In June 2012, a team of five Cranleigh Rotarians, consisting of three walkers and two drivers, together with three residents and a Team Leader from The Amber Foundation in Ockley, will be taking part in a sponsored attempt to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales, namely Ben Nevis (4,409 ft), Scafell Pike (3,209 ft) and Snowdon (3,560 ft) respectively. 3 peaks challenge logo
Any surplus the Cranleigh Rotarians receive from their sponsorship, after defraying expenses for the Challenge, will be donated to Amber. All of the sponsorship money raised by the residents of Amber will go to the Rotary International End Polio Now campaign.
The team will be travelling by minibus, kindly lent by Jigsaw School at Dunsfold, and staying overnight at Youth Hostels. They hope to complete the challenge within 60 hours of setting off on the first climb.
Amber exists to help young people who come to them without work, without self-esteem and without any sense of direction, to transform their lives. Almost all are long-term unemployed, homeless, have a history of substance abuse, or have been involved in crime. By the time they leave, some 6 months later, the vast majority are ready to lead sustainable independent lives. Find out more at: http://amberweb.org/
The 'walking Rotarians' are Brian Vine, Peter Allison and Andy Kolmar. The drivers are Michael Hart and David Gill.
