We are raising funds for Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital by taking part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge!

The Three Peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside are among the best known hills in the Yorkshire Dales National. The peaks, which form part of the Pennine range, encircle the heads of the valleys of the River Ribble and of Chapel-le-Dale.

The challenge is to walk the circular route, scaling each peak in turn aiming for a time less than 12 hours. The total walking distance is 39.2km (24.5 miles).

All funds raised from the event help us enhance both Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for the benefit of patients, their loved ones, visitors and staff. Examples of how these funds have helped make a difference include additional wheelchairs, brightening of wards and departments with new decoration, furniture and artworks for comfort, creating tranquil and calming environments to promote wellbeing and recuperation. We have also provided specialist equipment to enhance patient care, and much more!

The walk will take place on Saturday 17th September, beginning in the picturesque Horton in Ribblesdale. If you would like to join the team, or take part in our more manageable Family One Peak challenge, please email abby.wardill@nhs.net and we'll provide you with all the details and everything you need.
