Mimi Pearce and Sally Newman Carter complete the 3 peaks

Sally and Mini at the top of Ben Nevis.

"The 3 Peaks Challenge takes in the summits of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon all within 24 hours. We sill start walking up Ben Nevis at 5pm on the 30th June and we will hopefully be quaffing a nice glass of chilled champagne at the foot of Snowdon by 5pm on the 1st of July. It's not just about walking though! We've got a team of drivers behind us too and we couldn't do it without them.

Beccy (sally's friend) decided to start raising money for Help for Heroes a few years ago when the war in Afghanistan was becoming increasingly more prevalent in the news. She used to wonder what was happening to all the guys who had been injured and felt compelled to help. Mimi started fundraising for Help for Heroes whilst living and working in British Forces Germany, where raising money for this fantastic charity was very much part of community life.

The great thing about Help for Heroes is that it lets ordinary people (like us!) do extraordinary things (like the 3 peaks....) to help extraordinary people. So please dig deep - thinking of your support will help us get through the tricky times!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity." Sally Newman Carter
