Story
Event: The Three Peaks Challenge on the 25th of June
Charity: ShelterBox
Fundraisers: As many Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars as possible
The Plan: In order to raise funds and awareness for Shelter Box, we will be climbing the three highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales within 24 hours.
To make the challenge even tougher we will be carrying original Shelter Boxes. They will represent the ShelterBoxes that have been sent to disaster areas to provide refief for those who lost their homes.
It costs £590 to deliver one valuable box to people who are mostly in need. On our way up and down the three peaks we will try hard to overcome difficult terrain and to finally deliver the boxes across the finish line. We want to demonstrate the immense effort that is made to bring relief to victims of natural hazards.

ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world who are affected by disasters at the time when they need it the most.The ShelterBox solution in disaster response is as simple as it is effective.
We deliver the essentials a family needs to survive in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.
Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a disaster but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other vital items.
Please help us raise funds to allow ShelterBox to meet the needs of families countries around the world.
