The 3 peaks challenge is a popular money raising activity and rightly so. It involves climbing the 3 of the highest mountains in the UK, namely Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (England) and Snowdon (Wales). Well deciding that this wasn't tough enough we decided to make it just a bit more difficult. We decided to cycle between the highest 3 mountains in the UK.

Simply put this will involve climbing 3 mountains and cycling 450 miles in 5 days.

                    Our aim - to raise money for Operation Smile.

A few words from out Charity...

Since 1982 Operation Smile has changed over 150,000 children’s lives, forever.

It is estimated that every 2½ minutes a child is born with this with a cleff palates.  In the UK, a baby with a cleft will have it repaired in the first year of it’s life, however, in the developing world at least 75% of all cases will go untreated and for those who survive, many will live a lifetime of shame and isolation.  Clefts hamper breathing, eating, drinking and speaking and many children do not go to school because they are ridiculed and teased, far reducing their opportunities and development for the future. However, in just 45 minutes and for as little as £150, Operation Smile can change a child's life.

 

We work in over 60 countries providing free reconstructive surgery for children & young adults with facial deformities, predominantly cleft lips and cleft palates. We have over 5,000 highly skilled medical volunteers and we provide all the equipment, training and surgical supplies to ensure every patient we treat, receives the highest standard of care and aftercare that is needed when correcting facial deformities.

Without Operation Smile's work these children would not have access to the treatment they need to provide them with one of the most basic joys of life, a smile.
