Here's what I'll be doing to gain your sponsorship and raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support...

Friday 7 August - I'll be hiking a tough 24.5 miles across the Yorkshire 3 peaks - each peak is around 700 metres high!

What's more, that'll be a 'training challenge' for me as I'm doing an even bigger challenge the month after...

Thursday 17 - Saturday 19 September - I'll be taking part in the Scotland Coast 2 Summit 2 Coast challenge - from Fort William on the western coast, to Inverness on the east coast. Here's what it involves:

Day 1 - Climbing Ben Nevis - this is a challenging hike, from sea level to the highest point of Britain at 1,344m and will take between 6- 10 hours in total to complete.

Day 2 - To Loch Ness by Bike & Canoe. Beginning with a cycle of around 20kms, then we swap bikes for canoes and begin a 20km paddle through the loch and finally, back onto the bikes for a further 20km ride.

Day 3 - Just in case that's not enough, we'll be back on the bikes and finishing the challenge with an off-road trail along the banks of Loch Ness for just over 50km, which takes us to Inverness. Phew!

These are the biggest challenges I have ever taken on and having fallen off the ‘exercise wagon’ this year, it's going to take more training than I can imagine! So please please sponsor and support me - big or small it doesn't matter, it all adds up and I'd really appreciate anything you can give. Your sponsorship will not only help motivate me along the way, but most importantly, will help me raise money for a really great charity!

Thanks
Jo
