Hello,
Myself (Duncan, I can be seen in the club photos) and 3
good friends of mine are going to be completing the 3
Peaks Challenge at the end of June in the view to raise
money for charity.
We will be paying for our travel and accommodation
ourselves so that 100% of the money we raise goes to our
chosen charity, Help for Heroes. Our goal is to
raise the lofty sum of £10,000. We are aiming high, but
we like a challenge.
For
those of you who may not be aware of what the Three Peak
Challenge is, here is a bit of information:
We start at the foot of Ben Nevis, on what
will hopefully be a very pleasant June evening. Once
down, we will then drive through the night, to the Lake
District where we will climb Scafell Pike. Scafell though
the smallest of the three, will probably prove the biggest
navigation challenge. That completed we then head to climb
Mount Snowdon, aiming to be back down in under 24 hours
after starting.
The total distance walked will be approx 25
miles and height climbed will be over 10,000ft.
We have
set up a just giving website to allow easy donations and to
track the progress of our challenge,
http://www.justgiving.com/4Guys.
We
also have a Facebook group
http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=224533239417
as well as a Twitter account:
http://twitter.com/4guys3peaks
which we will be updating with news on our progress.
Basically we need your help, obviously any donations you
yourselves can make would be greatly appreciated but also we
need your help in spreading the word to anyone and everyone.
We want to try and get maximum exposure on this so if you
can let any work colleagues, family members, Facebook
friends or Twitter followers or just about everyone who may
be interested in helping us with our goal that would be
excellent.
Thank
you all for taking the time tor read this,
Myself,
