The 3 Peaks Challenge in aid of LauraLynn

WE DID IT!!! We completed the British 3 peaks challenge, which I was completing in aid of LauraLynn – Ireland’s Children’s Hospice.

The challenge was to hike up the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in 24hrs. We started on Saturday morning at 6:30 at the bottom of Ben Nevis and finished on Sunday morning at the bottom of Snowdon at 6:25. We completed it in 23 hours and 55 minutes, we had 5 minutes to spare.

Thanks to Tom, Rob and Neil for their support and company through each hike. An even bigger thanks to Lucy for safely driving us to each peak. The biggest thanks is to all of you who donated and helped me reach my fundraising target.

If you were waiting to make sure I completed the challenge before making a donation you can still do so using the link below. https://lnkd.in/eFmTxWdt
