Taking on the 3 peaks challenge for cancer charity!
Overview
In support of World Cancer Day 2022, Finance Manager Dipesh Patel, wanted to raise money for charities that support the fight against cancer by completing the ‘National 3 peaks challenge’ – climbing the highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scarfell) and Wales (Snowdon) all within 24 hours.
The challenge saw Dipesh hike 37km and ascending 10,000ft in just one day, which is quite literally a massive task both mentally and physically.
“Cancer Sucks It really does. It hurts people…a lot of people. It hurts mentally and physically, impacts families and friends with no remorse. Breaks hearts and shatters dreams.” – Dipesh Patel
Dipesh raised more than £2,000 completing this challenge, which he has shared across a number of charities:
- Rosemere Cancer Foundation
- Teenage Cancer Trust
- St Catherine’s Hospice
- Derian House Children’s Hospice
