Fundraising
Hike for Rachel across the Three Peaks this June
In memory of Rachel we invite you to take part in a challenging hike across the United Kingdom’s highest Peaks. We continue to fundraise in aid of Mount Vernon Cancer hospital which provides vital support for men and women diagnosed with Cancer as well as Breast Cancer. They provide pivotal services such as talking therapy and group exercise classes for all affected by cancer and provide a sanctuary to escape after a day of chemotherapy or surgery.
The gruelling three peaks challenge will take place across 72 hours covering a total distance of 23 miles and a total ascent of 3,064 metres (10,052ft) which is the height of 10 Eiffel towers. The hike will test your physical endurance and mental stamina.
This challenge is graded as Extreme (3/3), and therefore requires a high level of fitness and stamina – training beforehand is essential.
