The National Three Peaks Challenge is a well-known endurance event that involves running, cycling, or driving between the trailheads of the three highest peaks in the United Kingdom.
Last Saturday not only did Ryan take on the 3 Peaks challenge, he decided he would be running every peak and driving himself to each location afterwards!
Setting off under the cover of darkness, Ryan took on each mountain in its turn, the first was Snowdon with a height of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft), this was followed by Scafell Pike at 978 metres (3,209 ft) and then finally off to Scotland to conquer Ben Nevis at just 1,345 metres (4,413 ft)!
Ryan totted up 22 hours of driving covering 1,000 miles, whilst running over 27 miles taking in 3 of the tallest mountains in the UK.
Supporting Milly’s Smiles was an easy choice for Ryan as he has seen first hand the impact our Milly Bags have, after a friends daughter, Nori was diagnosed with Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome just over 12 months ago. Millys Smiles supported Nori and her family when she was admitted onto ward 86 at The Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
Ryan was hoping to raise a total of £1,000 but has by far exceeded his original target and has managed to raise a huge £2755.00 which is just incredible.
Huge thank you to Ryan for taking on such an awesome challenge for us, we are so grateful for your incredible support and we absolutely love the amazing photos.
We send all our love and support to beautiful Nori and her family as they continue their cancer journey.
