National 3 Peaks Challenge - Royal Marsden Cancer Charity

The National 3 Peaks Challenge in 24 Hours

Raising Funds for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity

Supporting Cancer Patients, Honouring Lives, and Changing Futures

Cancer touches us all, and for me, it's personal. On May 10th, I will undertake the National 3 Peaks Challenge—climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales within 24 hours, covering the distance of a Marathon. This journey is in memory of loved ones I've lost and in support of those I know are still courageously fighting this disease.

As a tribute, I will take their names to the summit of each mountain peak, honouring their strength and resilience. My father passed away from cancer in 2016, but continues to inspire me every day. His courage has motivated me to raise funds, helping others in their battle against this devastating illness.

Victory Breakfast to then enjoy

This self-funded challenge will demand my endurance, determination, and heart. After nine months of dedicated training—including high-intensity workouts, hill climbs, and gradient hikes across the Surrey Hills—I’m ready for this ultimate test. As part of my final preparations, I recently completed the Surrey Three Peaks challenge: 35.2 km with an elevation gain of 1,550 m in less than 9 hours.
