Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

A group of us from the Shipston Medical Centre (Paul & Jessica Daniel, Tim Marshall and David Williams) are planning to tackle the National Three Peaks Challenge to raise much needed funds for 'Shipston Home Nursing' - a fantastic local charity that provides palliative care for terminally ill patients within their own home. 

A truely inspiring friend (Ben Lindon) has also joined us to raise funds for 'Brain Tumour Research'. Having been diagnosed with a rare brain tumour in March 2008 and receiving ongoing chemotherapy, he decided getting fit and raising money for good causes was the best way forward. Any donations for Brain Tumour Research  can also be given via his page www.justgiving.com/Ben-Lindon

We are climbing the highest mountains of Scotland, England and Wales. 27 miles with a total ascent of 9,800 feet (then down again knees allowing!)

We aim to travel up to Scotland after work on Friday the 27th September and start bright and early on the Saturday morning, climbing Ben Nevis then drive to the Lake district and nip up and down Scafell Pike. After a few hours kip, pop down to Wales and have a look at the top of Snowden in time to drive home to be back at work for Monday. Sounds like a relaxed weekend away - Hmmm - better get training!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
