During charity week last year I decided to walk the Three Peaks of Yorkshire which involves climbing
Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The traditional time set to make the venture a challenge is 12 hours, so my aim was to complete the course within this time. The purpose of my walk was to raise as much money as possible for Teenage Cancer Trust. This charity funds and builds specialist units for young people in NHS hospitals across the country. They bring teenagers with cancer together with loads of new friends of their own age so they can support each other and have the best possible chance of a positive outcome. I completed the gruelling 26 mile circuit within the time and raised £250 for Teenage Cancer Trust. The walk tested my fitness and determination but helping young people with cancer made it very worthwhile.
