PEM do Three Peaks Challenge

On Friday 10th June 2016, 38 staff (myself included) from PEM will push themselves to the very limit by completing the Three Peaks Challenge, which involves climbing the three highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland, in 24 hours - a true test of physical and mental endurance and a challenge that is clearly not for the faint-hearted. 

The challenge starts in Scotland at Ben Nevis, which at 1,344m is the tallest of the three mountains. From there we will drive south into the Lake District 'ready' to climb Scafell Pike (978m). Last but by no means least we travel to Snowdon in Wales where the final climb of 1,085m awaits us.

Over the course of this challenge each person will walk 25miles, climb 10,000ft and travel over 450miles raising as much money for The Sick Children's Trust (www.sickchildrenstrust.org) who provide home from home accommodation, as well as emotional and practical support to families with sick children in hospital. The money we raise will specifically support the Cambridge Fundraising Committee who support Acorn House and Chestnut House at Addenbrookes Hospital.

We would really appreciate any donations (however big or small) you could make to this very worthwhile cause. You can donate online via the following link:
