As you know we have a huge challenge on our hands building a school. We have decided to set ourselves our own challenge: doing the Three Peaks of Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours. This will take place during the last weekend in June.
We have found 12(!) volunteers who will attempt the challenge, supported by a small crew of drivers who will hopefully also cook a good breakfast/lunch/dinner!
The London team is headed up by Rebecca, and the Midlands team by Dennis.
Of course we are asking you to support us in this challenge by donating to The Nagajuna Trust.
Two websites have been set up for this purpose and you can donate from anywhere in the world!:
London team: http://www.justgiving.com/rebecca3peaks
Midlands team: http://www.justgiving.com/DennisCM_3Peaks
If you are a UK taxpayer, by donating online, we get straightaway 23p extra for every pound you donate!
If you want a paper-based donation form, this is available as well, just send us an email.
You can keep updated by reading or signing up to the Nagajuna Trust Twitter account or reading this blog!
Updates:
Tuesday 26 May 2009: At the moment we are all in training: walking, running, swimming and cycling. Hardening our feet with surgical spirit and compiling our kit. Sponsor forms have been made and ready to emailed out. The first donations have been pledged. Watch your inbox!
Sunday 31 May 2009: today 4 members of the Midlands team did a trial walk on Snowdon. Thijs drove over all the way from Holland for the occasion. We all made it up and down in 4 hours. We took a few photos, which you can see here:
Postscript: it has now been a few days since we climbed Snowdon, and we all suffer from a few aches. I am glad I had my walking sticks with me, they seem to work. Time for a few more strengthening exercises!
