I love the idea of a challenge and the added bonus of doing it with friends and for a good cause, made this a challenge that i could not refuse when asked to participate! i love keeping fit either through the gym, running or cycling and from a young age have been into venturing across country finding my way to places and views that I've never seen before!
Having previously been in the air cadets for over 5 years i have a fair amount of experience orienteering across all types of terrain, and based on this i have been asked by Chris to lead the team for the challenge so as well as improving and keeping up my fitness levels this 3 peaks is going to need me to improve on my orienteering skills, as the last thing i or any of the team want is to be lost up a mountain when already tired and aiming to finish the challenge in under the 24 hours!
As we all know the main reason for this is not just for a jolly and some fun! ( as much as it hopefully will be) but to raise money for Macmillan cancer support as we all have been affected by cancer in one way or another, if not directly we at least know someone that has fallen a victim to it! Hopefully our hard work and suffering blisters, tiredness and more, will hopefully ease the lives of those affected by cancer through the money we raise!
