Story
As part of PWDR legacy action plan, a team of enthusiastic
hill walkers are tackling the National 3 Peaks Challenge on Sunday 15th & Monday 16th May.
This involves climbing the 3 highest
peaks of Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) & Wales (Snowdon) in under 24hrs. The total walking distance is 23 miles and the total ascent is 3064 metres (10,052ft) - twice the ascent of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks over a similar total walking distance. The total driving distance is 462 miles.
We are doing this because St Catherine's provides palliative and end-of-life care and support for the people of Central Lancashire, through our specialised services at the hospice and in people’s own homes. We're here to help people facing life-shortening conditions like cancer, motor neurone disease and heart failure to enjoy the best possible quality of life to the end of life. It costs more than £5m to run our charity every single year. We rely on the amazing efforts and wonderful generosity of supporters like you to help us raise the funds we need. Thank you!
