The Three Peaks, For Three Causes.

This September, a group of friends — Jessica Bardsley, Paul Warwick, Abi King and Holly Baines — will be taking on the demanding National Three Peaks Challenge, supported by military personnel Jake and Nathan. Our journey will begin in Scotland with the ascent of Ben Nevis, before continuing to Scafell Pike and finishing at Snowdon. To make this challenge even tougher, the team aims to complete all three climbs within just 24 hours — testing their endurance, determination, and teamwork every step of the way.

As a team, we will be aiming to raise much-needed funds for the following charities and causes close to our hearts. 
One of these is the Forget Me Not Room at Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, in memory of Poppy King, born in 2020. This incredibly important facility gives grieving families precious time to spend with their babies during the most heartbreaking circumstances imaginable. Although the room is sadly used far too often, it provides a peaceful and compassionate environment where families can begin the difficult grieving process together and create lasting memories with their children.
We are also proud to be raising funds for Forest Holme Hospice Charity in memory of Louise Downing and Derek Bardsley, Forest Holme is a specialist hospice that provides compassionate care and support for adults living with advanced and progressive illnesses. Set within a peaceful and tranquil environment, the hospice focuses on ensuring comfort, dignity, and the highest possible quality of life for patients during incredibly difficult times.
Another cause we are proud to support is the RAC Saddle Club Charity, which provides opportunities for physical fitness, wellbeing, and personal development through equitation for members of the armed forces and the wider community. The charity plays an important role in promoting confidence, rehabilitation, teamwork, and mental wellbeing through participation in equestrian activities.
The RAC Saddle Club also works to improve the quality of life for individuals living with physical disabilities by creating inclusive opportunities and supportive experiences through horse riding and related activities. Funds raised through this challenge will help the charity continue delivering these valuable programmes and ensure more people can benefit from the positive impact they provide.
We are seeking sponsorship and support to help make this incredible challenge possible while raising awareness and funds for meaningful causes. Every donation and sponsorship contribution will help motivate the team throughout this demanding journey and contribute directly to the impact we hope to make. Your support means a great deal and will help turn this challenge into an opportunity to create lasting positive change.
