Ever fancied mountain climbing for charity?
National charity the Meningitis Trust is looking for teams from offices and businesses in Sussex to take part in its Three Peaks Challenge in May.
The challenge is to climb the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales in just 36 hours in aid of the Meningitis Trust, and help people living with the impact of the disease.
The Three Peaks challenge starts at Snowdon in North Wales. Participants are then taken by coach to the bottom of Scafell in the Lake District – to trek Scafell in the dark! Finally, the team is whisked up to Scotland to climb the highest of the three mountains, Ben Nevis. This year’s event takes place between May 11 and 13.
Liv Maybank, who organises the challenge at the Meningitis Trust, said: “The Three Peaks is great fun and a brilliant atmosphere. It’s a particularly good challenge for small teams of people who work together, inspiring friendly rivalry, mutual support and helping to build a good team spirit. And we’re here to support those taking part every step of the way.”
The Meningitis Trust relies on the generosity of individuals to continue its vital work, supporting anyone affected by meningitis with free professional services, as well as raising lifesaving awareness of the disease and its symptoms.
Liv added: “Anybody who’s reasonably fit will be able to manage it, and we have expert guides and support services on hand, so you can concentrate on getting to the top and let us worry about everything else. I can guarantee those taking part will have a very memorable time.”
