Update

So my plan is for 2010 (circa May, June time, date to be finalised towards end of 2009) is to do the 3 Peaks challenge but not in the 24 hours like most people do, but all under my own power. That is to trek up and down the UK's highest peak, 'Ben Nevis', then get on my bike and cycle to the Lake District, trek up and down the highest peak in England, 'Scafell', finally cycling to North Wales and trek up and down 'Snowdon', the highest peak in Wales. All this in 5 days!!! In aid of The Multiple Sclerosis Society is the UK's largest organisation dedicated to supporting the 85,000 people, their families and carers affected by MS.
This challenge has been prompted by events within my own family. In 2005 my sister-in-law was made aware of the chance of developing MS and so it is a charity very deserving and close to my heart. I have already commenced training at the start of January 2009 and I am determined to achieve my goal of finishing the challenge and reaching the Fundraising Target!
Follow my highs and lows of the training etc on this Blog and if you would like to make a donation direct to The Multiple Sclerosis Society, visit my website http://www.justgiving.com/neilrussell .......donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain & Northern Ireland gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
