On June 25th -26th we will be trekking the Three Peaks- (Ben Nevis ,Scafell Pike and Snowdon) . These are the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales. The challenge is to climb each of these three peaks – one after the other within 24hrs!
I am raising funds for AMEND because I would like to support my mate Jack . Please help me raise funds for this great cause.
Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1 is a rare genetic disorder in which benign (noncancerous) tumors arise from the cells of various glands of the endocrine system, most often the parathyroid, pancreas and pituitary glands.
Please see below my Team mate Jack’s story :
A.M.E.N.D. Is our chosen charity we will be raising money for. I have chosen this charity because they have in the past and still are helping out my family, as my dads side of the family have a genetic condition called M.E.N.1 (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1.Unfortunately for my uncle his tumours were cancerous and as a result of this he passed away in 2013 at the age of 43. His daughter and my dad are both under going regularly treatment to try and catch the tumours as early as possible to try and prevent their tumours take a turn for the worst.Luckily my sister Lara and myself don’t have the M.E.N.1 gene.
Thank you
