In July this year, I am undertaking the 3 Peaks Challenge. The aim is to scale the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours or less. That's the equivalent of 42km horizontal distance and 3000 vertical metres. My wife has also agreed to join me on this challenge.

In doing the challenge, I aim to raise funds for Downright Excellent, a charity that plays a vital role in early intervention care and education for children with Down syndrome.
