To raise funds for two great causes by walking three big hills. Calder Valley Mountain Rescue and Northern Powerhouse Boxing Academy
On the 31st May I will be attempting the Yorkshire Three Peak Challenge to celebrate being 50, with three of my amazingly nutty friends. Fie Hopper, Liz Jefferson and Sarah Gordon.
I want to split my sponsorship equally between the place that helped me change my life - Northern Powerhouse Boxing Academy and the truly essential Calder Valley Search & Rescue team.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge is 24-miles (38.6km) round trip route, and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent.
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres), usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. These hills form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
