John: Another 3 Peaks Challenge
In 2020 in the middle of the pandemic Angela, who had been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer the previous year, completed the 2.6 challenge by walking for 26 miles on her old cross trainer. Two years later her son John finished the 3 Peaks Challenge to raise money for Secondary1st. This year John has completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge with six other people to raise more money for Secondary1st. In total they walked for 24 miles/38.6km, climbed 5200ft/1585m and completed the round trip in 12 hours. The three peaks, Pen-y-Ghent (694 m), Whernside (736m) and Ingleborough (723m), which are part of the Pennine Range, are set in a triangle in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park with the River Ribble between them.
