What are we doing and why?

Su Whitlock, Steve Quinn, Graham Howlett and Andy Earl will attempt to climb the three highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales.  The challenge involves scaling Ben Nevis (4409 ft), Scafell Pike (3209 ft) and Snowdon (3560 ft),  all within 24 hours!  Our Support Team (Elaine Snow, Robin Furniss and Shane Blampied) will be driving us almost 500 miles between the mountains.
We are taking on this challenge to raise funds for the Daniel Findlay Appeal. 
Daniel and his family are raising money to pay for a pioneering Cerebral Palsy treatment only available in the US which could potentially enable him to walk independently for the first time.
Without this operation, the future for Daniel looks bleak, with a multitude of operations and botox injections expected to try and ease the rigidity of his muscles to try and make him more comfortable.
