3 Peaks Challenge - Charity walk
 
Its been a pretty bad year for me work wise this year, as I've lost 2 colleagues in quick succession.

We'd already planned to walk the 3 Peaks in Yorkshire for my colleague Dan, who passed away in April suddenly and without warning at just 36 years old.

One of the vacancies on my team, which would have been filled by Andy, but whilst Andy was away on a training course, he collapsed and was taken to hospital, but passed away a few days later. He was only 52.

So as a tribute to them and supporting MIND, Dan's chosen charity we'll be attempting this challenge next Thursday 26th September.

Here's the link to the Just Giving page I've set up

All donations gratefully received

Thanks

Thanks for the donation IB, its very kind of you :smt058

No luck needed as we all finished. I need to start a new fund, as I need a Stannah stairlift to get up my stairs now. :(

I'll happily join you in a sponsored sofa sit down :D

Here's my Strava data to show what we did

Well done Mav. It's been a long time since I've done any distance walking, but the memory of the after burn is still strong!

Yes, the after burn is still very strong, I may go for a walk in the sea this afternoon to see if that helps :shock:
