Tom & Jax along with David Heron (Hez) who was a very good friend of Ben Lightowler, decided to attempt, as the main fundraiser this year, the challenge to complete the Three National Peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon all within 24 hours and we are more than proud to announce 'THEY DID IT!' The challenge started on Sunday evening (20th June) at 17.00 and was completed by 16.30 the next day. In Jax's words... "Hez did a time of 21hrs 54mins - Tom 22hrs 50mins & Jax 23hrs 30mins. We were all a wee bit tired but very very happy!!!! Hez described his legs as "reinforced custard" and Tom had no feeling at all. Jax on the other hand had just lost her knees but happily they have now returned!! There are maybe other events in the pipeline if the team recovers in time so watch this space for more details as they develop! One of them being the possible ascent of Mont Blanc in September!! Any volunteers to join us???? We look forward to your continued support in helping us raise funds for the BMCRC medics and cannot thank everyone enough for all your generous donations from last year. The outcome was way beyond our wildest dreams - see the pictures of the Ben Lightowler Rapid Response Vehicle which is now fully equipped and in action at all the race meetings."
