Join this trek of the Yorkshire Three Peaks - or just One Peak, and help struggling Leeds children's charity

Walkers can join in a trek of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, to raise much-needed cash for Martin House Hospice Care for Children and Young People.

The event was postponed from Jone to Saturday, September 12, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Nikki Denton, events manager at Martin House, said: “The Yorkshire Three Peaks is the only event in the Martin House calendar that is still able to go ahead this year, so its success is more crucial than ever.

“We have worked hard to ensure we can hold the event safely, following the latest government guidelines, and we hope that people will join us to enjoy some of the most magnificent countryside.”

The event, in its third year, gives walkers a chance to tackle Whernside, Pen-y-ghent and Ingleborough in one day – covering 24 miles in 10 to 12 hours. Or you could go for a Yorkshire One Peak challenge – a four-hour trek up Pen-y-ghent.

Both walks are self-led, but Kuta Outdoors will provide instructions and guides, together with training tips beforehand.

It costs £35 to register for the Three Peaks walk, with walkers asked to raise a minimum £150 in sponsorship, while the One Peak is £20 to register, with a fundraising target of £50 plus.

All money raised will go to support Martin House, which cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions from across West, North and East Yorkshire, including respite care, emergency care and end of life care, as well as bereavement support.

Nikki added: “We need to raise nearly 90 per cent of the £9 million it costs to run Martin House each year, and the pandemic has hit our fundraising hard.”
