Congratulations to Ben Smart and his friends who took on the Three Peaks Challenge, raising money for the Collingwood Centre at Colchester Hospital 💙 Here they are pictured on Ben Nevis 😍 They also walked Mount Snowdon and Scafell Pike! With a mixture of weather conditions they completed over 3,000 vertical meters in three countries and the equivalent of 30 Big Bens!😮 Ben, Richard, Ellie, Vince, and Adam, along with Amy and Emma, the team drivers, raised money on behalf of Amy's dad Mark, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in September 2021 and has since undergone surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy to help slow the spread of his cancer. Well done for completing this huge challenge and raising an incredible £4,765! There's still time to sponsor the team at: justgiving.com/page/three-peaks-weekender (fb)
