- 3 Peaks: “Hi Craig, I just wanted to say thank you very much for last weekend. I have had a lot of good feedback from all the teams. It was really intense challenge but I think you and your team were great, everyone felt supported and like they were in safe hands – which was so important when climbing a large mountain in the dark! I am very grateful to all of you for making it a smooth challenge and for helping the team with such a great success, everyone had a huge sense of achievement- despite the aching muscles!”
The appeal has raised £20,000 so far from sponsorship and we still have donations coming in which is really super!” -
