Ben Nevis, Scotland. 1344m.

Scafell Pike, England. 978m.

Snowdon, Wales. 1085m.

Add these numbers together and it comes to something like 3000.  Or 4000, I was never very good at maths.

I’ve never been much good at exercise either, so when some bright spark at Marriott came up with the plan to climb three bizarrely-named mountains in 24 hours (oh yes), it seemed like a great idea.

For two reasons:

1. Living between two Tesco Metros has meant that the temptation of eating those little Malteser rabbits after work is too great.  So I say NO MORE!  Let’s leave those bunnies on the shelves and get fit!

2. It is a great opportunity to raise money for a fantastic charity, the Prince’s Trust.  The Prince’s Trust is a youth charity that does so much to change the lives of young people, from a practical and financial point of view.  I’ve seen the results first hand and what the Prince’s Trust accomplishes is incredible, inspiring and tangible.

So if I have to get muddy and out of breath, buy some hiking boots and stop visiting Domino’s Pizza to help this great cause then so be it.  I need your help too!

The science bit...

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them or send unwanted emails.  Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.  So it’s the most efficient way to donate – I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now!
