Story
Short story.... pls sponsor us to complete the 3 peaks challenge on 17/4/21, to support a friend who is currently fighting breast cancer, raise money for cancer research and to remind everyone to check their boobs!!!!!!
Longer story... I am a police officer in South Yorkshire Police and have always wanted to do the Yorkshire '3 Peaks challenge', this is a 1 day trekking challenge that goes through summits of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, a circular route starting and ending in Horton-in-Ribblesdale which is approx 24 miles and over 1,700m of ascent. In 2020, I discussed this with a friend (police colleague) and her husband Pete who are both avid walkers and set a date of Saturday 17th April 2021 to complete. Little did I know then that in January 2021, the same friend would be diagnosed with breast cancer, requiring an urgent mastectomy which will take place on Friday 12th February 2021, I therefore want to conquer this challenge in support of my friend whilst she conquers breast cancer and raise money and awareness for breast cancer and the importance of identifying and diagnosing early. The challenge will take place on Saturday 17th April 2021 with my friends husband Pete and another friend (lovely little) Fae Halstead. The aim is to complete the challenge in under 12 hours to officially become part of the 'Yorkshire 3 peaks club' and aim to raise 5k for cancer research whilst reminding everyone to check their boobs.
PLEASE SUPPORT WHERE YOU CAN, send messages of support to my friend and pray for everyone else fighting this right now. Much Love xxxxxx
