3 Peaks & 500 Miles On A Bike In 3 Days, Raising Money For MS Society
The Challenge
The Challenge date has been set, and we are commencing on Friday 12th August 2011.
So the plan is to trek up and down the highest peak in the UK, 'Ben Nevis', then get on our bikes and cycle to the Lake District, trek up and down the highest peak in England, 'Scafell', finally cycling to Wales and trek up and down 'Snowdon', the highest peak in Wales. All this in 3 days! That is the plan anyway!!
This challenge has been prompted by events within my own family. In 2005 my sister-in-law was made aware of the chance of developing MS, and has now been fully diagnosed as having MS in 2010!! and so it is a charity very deserving and close to my heart.
I have recommenced training following a bad football injury that ruled me out of training/exercise for over 6 months.....and both Tom and myself are determined to achieve our goal of finishing the challenge and reaching the Fundraising Target of £10,000!
I’ll try to make it as interesting as possible! and you can contact me via email: neil@tourdepeaks.co.uk
Raising Money For
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological condition affecting young adults. Around 100,000 people in the UK have MS.
MS is the result of damage to myelin - a protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system.
When myelin is damaged, this interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body.
For some people, MS is characterised by periods of relapse and remission while for others it has a progressive pattern. For everyone, it makes life unpredictable.
