A huge thank you to Ria, who took on the incredible National Three Peaks Challenge, raising £315 for the Children’s Respite Trust!
Alongside a friend, Ria climbed Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in a total time of 23 hours and 20 minutes. What started as an opportunity to take on a personal challenge soon became a way to support a cause close to her heart.
Ria was inspired to fundraise for CRT after seeing first-hand the dedication and round-the-clock care involved in raising her autistic niece and nephew. Having seen the impact this can have on family life, she began looking into respite options and discovered the work of The Children’s Respite Trust.
Ria said: “I’d looked into options for them for respite previously, just out of interest to see if there was anything out there. This is when I came across the Children’s Respite Trust. I had a look into the work the charity does and was completely inspired.”
She added that she had wanted to support the charity for some time, and the Three Peaks Challenge provided the perfect opportunity to turn that intention into action.
Completing all three mountains in less than 24 hours was no small feat, but Ria described the experience as both tough and incredibly rewarding.
And this may not be the last adventure! Ria is already hoping to take on an even bigger challenge next year to raise more money for CRT.
Thank you, Ria, for your incredible effort and for raising £315 to support our work. Every donation helps the Children’s Respite Trust provide vital respite care for children with disabilities, giving families the opportunity to rest, recharge and spend precious time together.
