The 3 Peaks in 24h - Challenge for Change Foundation

Some people go through peak midlife crisis, I'm apparently about to go through three. 

Most of you know me for capturing families at some of their most meaningful moments, in the comfort of our studio. The only steps I commit to are to get my Costa coffee, and there is zero hiking involved. 
Never in my life have I hiked anywhere. But here we are.

I’m stepping out from behind the camera… and very much out of my comfort zone. 

I’m raising money for The Change Foundation: a charity that uses sport and physical activity to support marginalised and disadvantaged communities, helping young people build confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. 

And to do that, I’ve signed myself up for something that feels mildly unhinged.

The National Three Peaks Challenge.
In 24 hours.
On foot.
Questioning all of my life choices along the way.

That’s 26 miles (42km) of walking, nearly 3,000m of climbing, and three of the UK’s highest mountains: Ben Nevis (1,345m / 4412ft, Scotland), Scafell Pike (978m / 3209ft, England), and Snowdon (1,085m / 3560ft Wales).. all in one go.

It’s going to be tough, uncomfortable, and very far from anything I’d usually choose… which is exactly the point. 

If you can, please donate, as much or as little as you like. Every contribution makes a real difference.

And in return?
You’ll get a photo of me at the end… completely out of breath, slightly broken, possibly dead, but if somehow I survive: very proud.

Thank you for supporting something that truly matters 🤍

PS: Is there an Uber I can get from Ben Nevis?
