I am aiming to do the Three Peaks Challenge at the end of April 2024. I will be raising money in aid of Antiplastic Anaemia. This challenge involves hiking Ben Nevis, Scarfell Pike and Snowdon. I shall be navigating myself over the course of this Hike. Antiplastic Anaemia is import to me as a close friend has been diagnosed with the rare disease. My friend is Courageous, brave and is incredibly stoic. This opportunity for me to raise money with your support is just a small challenge compared to the journey my is on.

Aplastic Anaemia is a rare type of bone marrow failure. It's where the bone marrow stops creating all kinds of blood cells. It's really rare and affects 1 in every half a million people. Treatment is very similar to the treatment someone might have for leukaemia - but because it's so rare, families often don't have access to the same information and support.

The Aplastic Anaemia Trust is the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people affected by aplastic anaemia.
