3 Peaks 24 Hour Challenge Nathan’s Way

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On April 30th I will be attempting to climb Scotland, England and Wales’ three highest peaks as part of The Riff Raff Society’s 3 Peaks 24 Hour Challenge. Riff Raff Urmston is my local fundraising group and is run by an incredible bunch of the most warm-hearted people you will ever meet. They have raised £££s for years and years for local people in the M41 area – making sure every single penny reaches those in need.

THE CHALLENGE
This is a significant challenge as we attempt to hike 23 miles and ascend 10,052ft starting off in the stunning Scottish highlands at Ben Nevis then onto England’s highest peak Scafell Pike in the beautiful Lake District before taking on Mount Snowdon in the glorious Welsh mountains.The total driving distance is 462 miles. It’s a lot of hiking and a lot of driving and should not be underestimated.

THE REASON
Last year Urmston family “The Blake’s” tragically and completely unexpectedly lost their son Nathan aged just 26 to a Sudden Adult Death of cardiac nature. For those folk that never met Nathan he was an absolutely gorgeous lad. His learning difficulties never stopped him extracting all the fun that this world had to offer. His amazing family always encouraged him to be his best and he was famous in Trafford for riding around on his chopper-style bike always with a massive smile on his face.

THE CAUSE
Mum Helen and Dad Cess and their boys plan to host a Heart Defect Monitoring Day in Trafford by partnering with a charity called Cardiac Risk in The Young. They plan to put on an event to check 100 possibly at risk young people for heart defects in the local area. Facilitating a day would cost approx. £10,000 but there is every chance it could save precious young lives of those at risk. It’s a wonderful gesture from a special family – they want to make a difference in Nathan’s name.

We proudly plan to take on this challenge whatever the weather in “Nathan’s Way” with a big smile on our faces.
