Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge · 24 May 2025

We provide vital care and support to people living with a progressive illness

Story

Support Us as We Take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge!

As a group of great friends—Kurt and I along with Marty D & Lynn, Naomi & Carl, and Kelly & Fozzy —are gearing up for an epic adventure! Over the second May Bank Holiday in 2025, we’re taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, a gruelling 24-mile trek across the three highest peaks in the Yorkshire Dales.

Why Are We Doing This?

Yes, we love a challenge, but more importantly, we want to raise vital funds for three incredible charities that mean the world to us. Each of these charities has had a deep personal impact on members of our group, and we’d love your support to help them continue their amazing work.

The Challenge Ahead

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge means scaling Pen-y-Ghent (694m), Whernside (736m), and Ingleborough (723m)—all within 12 hours! With a total climb of 1,585m (5,200ft) over 24 miles (38.6km), it’s no small feat—especially for us, training on the flatlands of Suffolk! But we’re determined to push through, knowing that every step we take helps raise funds for these brilliant causes.

Who We’re Supporting

✨ Zest (St Elizabeth Hospice)

💙 Supporting young adults with life-limiting conditions.

Our beautiful daughter Abbey, attended Zest at St Elizabeth Hospice for social activities and respite care. Abbey was a beautiful soul who was loved by everyone she met, her cheeky smile and infectious laugh brighten our day. Sadly Abbey lost her battle with Juvenile Battens Disease five years ago. The hospice was a sanctuary for Abbey and a source of invaluable support for our family when we needed it most. We would like to raise funds to enable them to continue to support families like ours.

Fozzy’s dad also received end-of-life care at St Elizabeth’s Hospice, making this charity incredibly close to our hearts.
