We started the Smash It Challenge last year to remember our much-loved colleague Marty Stephens by hiking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks

Over 80 participants joined us on the day. It was incredible to see so many people celebrate Marty’s life and embody his determination and thirst for a challenging adventure. He loved the outdoors and mountaineering was a favourite pastime of his.

This year, we are planning to conquer the Fairfield Horseshoe in the Lake District on Friday 24th May 2024. I know Marty would want me to up the ante, so I am topping up this challenge with a 2.8km open water swim in July.

The Scottish Mountaineering Trust are a fantastic organisation and supply funding to a wide array of initiatives. For more information on their charitable activities please visit https://thesmt.org.uk/

Grateful for any sponsorship to this cause in memory of Marty.
