Climbing Mountains to Support Teenage Cancer Trust
Why This Matters
Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the life-changing words: “You have cancer.” In that moment, everything shifts. But with the right care and support, cancer doesn’t have to define their future.
Teenage Cancer Trust ensures young people don’t face cancer alone by providing:
✅ Specialist nurses who deliver expert, age-appropriate care.
✅ Dedicated hospital units designed specifically for teenagers.
✅ Mental health and emotional support for young patients and their families.
With your support, we can give young people the strength to fight cancer on their own terms.
The Challenge
To push myself physically and mentally, I’m taking on a series of mountain challenges—starting with these climbs alongside my dad:
Yorkshire Three Peaks
⛰️ Pen-y-ghent – 694m (2,227 ft)✅
⛰️ Ingleborough – 723m (2,372 ft)✅
⛰️ Whernside – 736m (2,415 ft)✅
National Three Peaks
⛰️ Scafell Pike – 978m (3,209 ft)✅
⛰️ Snowdon – 1,085m (3,559 ft)✅
⛰️ Ben Nevis – 1,345m (4,413 ft)
And this is just the beginning.
I’ve climbed these mountains before, but this time, it’s different. Every step, every mile of rugged terrain, and every tough ascent is for a cause bigger than myself. These challenges are nothing compared to what young cancer patients face every day.
