On Sunday 12th August Andy & I will be completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge; a 40 kilometre hike over three mountains and a total elevation of 5,250 ft with a target time of 12 hours.

The first recorded ascent was in 1887 in a time of 10 hours (on a slightly shorter route), so Andy & I will be pushing to match this incredible achievement for Everyman, a charity (branch of the ICR) focusing on the research of testicular and prostate cancer.

As well as our hike, Andy and I are looking to our sponsors to give our challenge an added edge. To incentivise your donation, please include a request / extra challenge and – providing it doesn’t risk my life (Andy’s is less important) – we will try our best to accommodate. Just remember it’s pretty cold on a mountain...

On a personal level, a member of my extended family was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer and your donation will support the world-leading work of scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research. Please look at http://everyman-campaign.org/index.shtml for more information. Thank you in advance for your kind donations (and not so kind challenges)

Rob & Andy
