| Walking fox glacier. New Zealand |
This will be the 3rd event I have taken part in to raise money for charity. I am a very keen swimmer and 2 events were swimming based which between them raised over £1500 for Aspire spinal unit and st johns Ambulance, I have also done two 10k fun runs and a half marathon. The 3 peaks challenge is something I have all ways wanted to do. The pain will be fun!!!
Why:
I really enjoy physical challenges, and enjoyed much of the mountain scenery around a very rocky New Zealand. A combination of raising money for a very good cause, pushing myself to the limit of physical endurance, and "enjoying " the thrill of mountaineering was to hard to resist.
The Team:
I have known Ian and Chris since secondary School. Chris and I started talking at the local gym about this challenge in February 2012 and Chris got the ball rolling (even without a team at the time) which i am pleased to say is now done and I am looking forward to the challenge with all of them.
Training:
I am currently working on my base fitness at the gym by doing lots of spin classes, swimming, Cycling and resistance training. During the next year we plan to get some group training in country, and hill climbs to build up to the challenge, and I will also be doing some all day training sessions, on foot and in the pool.
The charity:
We want to raise at least £3000 for Macmillan cancer support, who provide quality assured, up-to-date cancer information, written by specialists for patients, relatives and carers.
Every day more and more people are facing the toughest fight of their lives. Your donations make up 96% of income, so we simply couldn't support them without you.
So please dig deep and sponsor our challenge, you can donate at.
