This year a team of 26 walkers and 2 drivers aim to take on the 3 peaks challenge. Setting off from Cornwall we will drive to Ben Nevis and start our challenge at 07:30 the Friday with the aim to be at the bottom of the third peak before 07:30 Saturday. 

This challenge involves us walking the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours and is not one for the faint hearted.The challenge starts in Scotland at Ben Nevis, which at, 1,344 metres, or 4,409 ft is the tallest of the three.From there the expedition will drive south into the Lake District where they climb Scafell Pike (978 m, 3,209 ft).The final of the three is the Welsh mountain, Snowdon, standing at no less than 1,085 m, 3,560 ft.

One of our chosen charities is the Critical Care Healing garden. 

A healing garden will be life changing for our Critical care patients.Early rehabilitation in critical illness has shown to be incredibly important. Inside a Critical Care Unit, patients can lose all sense of time and place as day blends into night and they stare at the same four walls for weeks on end.Our garden will be a place for healing and rehabilitation, not only physical but for the mental and emotional self too. Smelling different scents, the sound of the breeze through the leaves and maybe some water features.It gives people a grounding and a reminder of what they have to aim for to keep them pushing through their recovery and rehabilitation.There is no truer saying than the Healing power of nature and no more so than in Cornwall where our patients are used to the outdoor life and being surrounded by this beauty daily.We want to make sure being in critical care doesnt take that opportunity away from our patients for long.
