Who's Tony?

Anthony Lake-Johns (Tony) was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia on the 27^th May 2009 at the age of 32. He was admitted to the Ruth Myles unit of St.George’s Hospital, London to undergo chemotherapy and further treatment. Once he had completed his first phase of chemotherapy, he continued as a day care patient. Unfortunately Tony caught swine flu and after a short battle in intensive care passed away on the 25^th August 2009. 

What's the Challenge?

3 Peaks is one of the great British Challenges - summit the three highest mountains within 24 hours. Seems simple enough, except when you factor in the distance between them (almost 600 miles), the 3,300 metres of climbing, the 30 miles of walking, the rugged and unpredictable nature of the mountain environments, oh and good old British weather.

It's definitely not something to be taken lightly. Ben Nevis has perennial snow on the ground, Scafell Pike is notoriously difficult to navigate (especially in the dark) and the summit of Snowdon is steep and exposed.
