Most people know by now that I draw all of my portraits to raise money for charity.

Each year I also try to set myself at least one big fundraising challenge, and this year one of those challenges will be taking part in the ‘3-Peaks Challenge’ in aid of Turning Tides Ending Local Homelessness.

If you’re unaware as to what the 3-Peak Challenge is, I’ll be climbing the three highest mountains in the UK (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon) in around 24 hours, starting on the morning of 4th October and ending on the morning of the 5th October.

But there’s more……..I’ll also be attempting* to draw a pet portrait at the top of each mountain!!

Every penny raised for this amazing charity is so gratefully received and every donation will spur me on when I’m yet again thinking to myself ‘what have you gone and done now Hercule?!’

The money you donate will help support someone experiencing homelessness, giving them the opportunity to start their own journey, one that will change their lives forever....

*whilst I’ll be making every attempt to draw a portrait on each of the three mountains, it will be subject to to weather conditions and time constraints. If i am unable to draw the portraits during the challenge, they will be drawn in the usual way.
