I'm delighted to be Sophie's Patron for her attempt at the 3 Peaks, which is one of the toughest challenges you can do in the UK. Please support Sophie and help her raise funds for 1064 (Honiton) Sqn Air Cadets.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes Bt OBE - Explorer & Sophie's Patron

Well done Sophie, for taking on the arduous 3 Peaks Challenge and what better aim than to raise money for your Air Cadet Squadron. Here’s wishing you all the very best on this brilliant adventure.

Air Marshal Harvey Smyth CB OBE DFC MA RAF - Deputy Chief of Defence Staff (Military Strategy & Operations)

Sophie, this challenge is all about planning, incredible stamina, tremendous teamwork - and the weather! It will be a truly wonderful achievement to have on your CV, but more important is the inner confidence in that you’ll know what you really can do when next given the opportunity. Go for it!

Richard Noble OBE - World Land Speed Record Breaker

Sophie, best of luck on the 3 Peaks Challenge. It will be demanding, but your determination is becoming a thing of legend. Hang in there when the going gets tough and I hope that you raise lots of money.

Air Vice-Marshal Fin Monahan OBE DFC PhD - Director Defence Futures

Good luck Sophie! This is sure to be a proper adventure, with just the right amount of ambition that makes it close to impossible for so many, and is a great inspirational for all of us. Go for it!

Paul Rose - Explorer & Head of Expeditions, National Geographic Pristine Seas

I wish you all the best of luck. Take care, enjoy the 3 Peaks Challenge and I hope that you raise loads and loads of money.

This is a really tough challenge, but Sophie epitomises the spirit of RAF Air Cadets. All of us within the Air Mobility Force are rooting for her.

Rory Underwood MBE DL - former England Rugby International & RAF pilot

Please support Sophie’s extraordinary challenge if you can - it is a brilliant endeavour to try to enhance the opportunities that the Royal Air Force Air Cadets provides for thousands of young people across the UK.

Please support her as much as you can!

Flt Lt Dunc Mason MBE - former Red Arrow & Spitfire display pilot

Sophie Mackenney is taking on a very tough challenge for a most worthwhile cause. It would be marvellous if more young people would follow her example and raise support for Air Cadets and other youth organisations. I wish you every success Sophie.

I was both delighted and impressed to hear that Sophie is taking on this superb challenge in support of her Air Cadet Squadron. She clearly has the drive and determination to overcome the very considerable demands.
