Story
We did it. At 3.45 pm on Thursday (20th September), team Charlie strutted off Snowdon, just 23 hours and 25 minutes after tentatively setting foot on the mighty Ben Nevis...with a rather dark and character-challenging six and a half hours on Scafell Pike in between...
You can still donate, and it would be hugely appreciated.
Every penny goes straight towards improving the lives of homeless people – all walkers made a personal contribution towards the experience and provided their own equipment, midgie repellent and mint cake. Our agency very generously provided transport and snacks.
A huge thank you to those who have given so far. I know we're all toughing it out financially at the moment which made the donations even more of a motivation to me - on a couple of hours sleep, facing my third four hour plus peak expedition.
GO TEAM CHARLIE...
A massive thank you to the whole team for inspiring me to keep going - but a special mention has to go to Charlie, who guided us safely and swiftly between peaks across the UK to make it possible. If we were the foot soldiers, he was the fighter pilot.
Commander-in-Chief Amy was incredible - insisting on sticking to the path and even persuading shattered walkers to go back up and down hills for up to 90 minutes to do so.
