Energy levels are higher than ever at Speed as the eleven person team of climbers and support crew prepare for the Three Peaks challenge at the end of this week.

We’re covering all our costs and raising cash for Macmillan Cancer Research. It’s a personal choice for many of us. Cancer is a bloody awful disease that touches almost everyone and needs to be better understood.

A huge thanks to everyone that has sponsored us so far. We’ve close to hitting £2,000 and have our sights set on £3,000. If you haven’t chipped in and Macmillan Cancer Research is close to your heart we’d urge you please to consider doing so via our JustGiving page.

The challenge could not be simpler. Climb the highest mountains in the Wales (Snowdon), England (Scafell Pike) and Scotland (Ben Nevis) in 24 hours.

We’ll be tackling them in that order leaving London around 4am on Friday morning to start the challenge at the foot of Snowdon at 9am and aiming end the challenge 24 hours later at the foot of Ben Nevis.

We’ve got form: a team from Rainier PR, one of Speed’s predecessor agencies successfully completed the challenge three years ago in 22 hours 10 minutes.

We’ll be tweeting the challenge throughout Friday and the early hours of Saturday using the hash tag #speed3peaks.

Here’s the [highly motivated] team of 10 Speed climbers and support lined up to take on the Three Peaks Challenge of 10 June.

It could not be simpler: climb the highest mountains in the Wales (Snowdon), England (Scafell Pike) and Scotland (Ben Nevis) in 24 hours.

We’ll be tackling them in that order leaving London around 4am to start the challenge at the foot of Snowdon at 9am and aiming end the challenge 24 hours later at the foot of Ben Nevis. Along the way the team will complete 3,400m of climbing: approx 14 miles up and 14 miles down

We’ve got form: a team from Rainier PR, one of Speed’s predecessor agencies successfully completed the challenge three years ago in 22 hours 10 minutes, thanks mainly to the athleticism of former colleagues Chris Lee and Tim Hoang.

We’re aiming to raise £3,000 for Macmillan Cancer and I’ll be personally planting trees in Northumberland to offset our carbon footprint.
