Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

In July 2010 I will be joining The Christie's team tackling the National 3 peaks challenge. I will be taking on the event in memory of Martin Pears who tragically passed away as a result of Cancer in November 2008 at only 23 years of age. I will be doing the challenge alongside Martin's brother Chris.

 

The event is to be held over 16, 17 and 18 July 2010.  The challenge is to climb the 3 highest peaks in the UK within 24 hours climbing time.  The challenge starts in Glen Nevis Valley in Scotland, from which we attempt to climb the largest mountain in the UK, Ben Nevis, standing at 1,344m.  We then head to the Lakes to climb Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England, and then on to the highest mountain in Wales, Mount Snowdon.

More information on this challenge can be found at:  http://www.charitychallenge.com/expedition.html?id=1041

All money raised from the event will go to Martin Pears’ Fundraising Fund for the Young Oncology Unit (Y.O.U) at the Christie.    After being diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Martin only spent a short time on the Y.O.U. before his sudden death and the care he and his relatives received was fantastic. 

 

Thanks again for reading and I sincerely hope you can contribute something towards such a worthy cause that has provides so expertly for so many people and their families.
