A group of mainly novice walkers will attempt to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 24 hours, to hopefully raise £10,000 for the charity Special Olympics St Albans (SOSA).
Special Olympics St Albans parents, 1-Life employees from the St Albans Sport and Health Team and a group of people made up of St Albans City and District Council employees, will come together on the 8th and 9th July 2016 to tackle the tough 3-Peak Challenge for SOSA. (The charity provides weekly sporting and community initiatives for those with a learning disability ages 7 years and over).
The end total will contribute to a team of 65 athletes attending the 2017 Special Olympics National Summer Games in 2017.
There are a number of people behind the logistics of this expedition, one of whom is Councillor Annie Brewster, Cabinet Portfolio Holder at St Albans District Council for Sport, Leisure and Heritage. Councillor Brewster comments, “SOSA is a fantastic charity that provides amazing opportunities for its many athletes who have a learning disability. The 25 brave walkers involved in the expedition are already pounding the streets in preparation for this most taxing challenge. I wish them well and hope the target of £10 000 is reached.”
