We’re stepping up to stop blood clots

We’re doing more than getting our steps in – we’re walking over 24 miles on September 10^th to raise funds and awareness for Thrombosis UK. We're asking our sponsors to help us smash our target of £2,400, just £100 for every mile we complete.

Thrombosis UK was nominated as Neo’s charity partner after the passing of our dear colleague Stephen Toulson in 2020, who died of Thrombosis.

One of the best ways to beat Thrombosis is by staying active, so we’ve decided to walk the Yorkshire 3 peaks Yes for approximately 12 hours over the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. That's 24 miles (38.6km) with 1585m (5200ft) of ascent. This isn't a challenge for the faint hearted as participants will be walking almost a marathon's distance and climbing peaks higher than Ben Nevis in under 12 hours!
