Story
To keep her memory alive, her family are keen to raise money to help with the research into lung disease and that is why her family are raising money for the British Lung Foundation. The first fundraiser is a Walk in the Yorkshire Dales. The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Ingleborough (723 metres), Pen-y-ghent (694 metres), and Whernside (736 metres), and in under 12 hours. The Yorkshire Three Peaks route is 24-miles long, and includes 5,200ft (1,585m) of ascent.Updates
Training Going Well
20th September 2017Over the last month there have been a number of training walks... the last one was over 10 miles. So far we have had really good weather for the walks and fingers crossed it holds for Sunday!!
2nd Training Climb
22nd August 2017Pen-y-Ghent was successfully climbed - the views were stunning and thankfully the hurricane promised by the Met Office blew out over the Atlantic. Climbers on Sunday included Karen Whipday who ensured that a piece of her Mum made the summit.
1st Training Climb
8th August 2017Sunday the 6th August and the 1st training climb with a month to go; all the work so far has been in the gym on the treadmill - nothing like the scenery of Ingleborough and the beauty of the dales. A massive achievement for Launa Whipday as it was her 1st big climb - and the conditions weren't great... so a massive hats off to her!!!
