Thank you Mel
21 September 2012

We blogged a while ago about our dear friend Mel kindly raising money for Harrison by doing the 3 peaks challenge. She completed it and she has written the following giving us just a little feeler of how it went.....
"For me it was both a personal challenge as well as raising money for lovely Harrison. It was both physically and emotionally demanding walking the three mountains over a relatively short period of time through both night and day combined with sleep deprivation and the weather at Ben Nevis and Scarfell, at times if felt everything was against us!! The views when we had them were spectacular especially at Snowdon where we had the better weather. We finished in 26 hours and 17 mins which taking on board the weather conditions was good timing. Doing this for a worthy cause to provide Harrison with the equipment he needs to develop made it all worth it. I am so grateful for the support that everyone gave me both in the group, the £250 donations given and also for my family giving me the time to train to enable me to do the challenge. And now I've had time to reflect and recover I am thinking about the next one.....:-)!
My quote of the trip was 'I just need to catch my breath'"
We think that Mel did so well since the weather condtions were clearly awful and very unkind her and her fellow walkers....so with thast in mind we are even more grateful than we were anyway!
Thank you so much Mel, we really do think you're a star xx
