"Life Changing. Helped me come back to the person I felt I was losing." 

This young person came to us for help after struggling to come to terms with having cancer and the challenging effects of treatment at 25 years old. We supported this young person with a course of clinical psychology from our specialist team. A course of clinical psychology costs on average £600-800 to provide life changing differences and help young adults navigate through mental health struggles such has trauma and PTSD. Your participation in this challenge could help fund a course of psychology for a young adult going through cancer. You can help to make life changing differences. Since our launch in 2022, we have provided highly impactful support to over 70 individuals through our Feel Well programme thanks to the incredibly generosity of people like you.

The Challenge

From the rugged beauty of the Glen Nevis Valley, to the forests and estuaries of the stunning Snowdonia National Park, join us for one almighty trekking challenge as we take on the UK’s giants on this classic 3 Peaks Challenge! We’ll take on Ben Nevis (1,345m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (1,085m) aiming to summit all three in a total trekking time of 15 hours or less. You’ll climb around 3,050 meters and have walked approx. 22 miles, so grit and determination are essential to completing this fast-paced challenge. It’s little wonder this challenge is the most highly-regarded trekking challenge in the UK.

DAY 1 - MEET IN GLASGOW

We’ll meet at Glasgow Central Station/ Glasgow International Airport for our pick up, then head north on our transfer to Fort William which is located in the stunning highlands of Scotland. Tonight we have an evening meal together as a group and a briefing about the exciting challenge ahead.

DAY 2 - BEN NEVIS & SCAFELL PIKE

After a hearty breakfast our challenge begins, first up the mighty Ben Nevis standing tall at 1,345m. We begin our trek taking the tourist path, which uses a zig zag technique to enable a steady climb up the mountain! As we trek to the summit we will stop for short breaks enabling us to take in the picturesque views of the breath-taking Scottish highlands. Once we reach the summit and take our celebration photos we begin our descent. After we descend Ben Nevis we jump straight into the awaiting vehicles and head South to the Lake District to take on our second peak –Scafell Pike (978m).

We stop for dinner en route then continue on to Wasdale Head; an untouched and tranquil part of the Lake District also renowned for being the birthplace of British climbing. We continue our trek in what remains of the daylight and head towards the summit. 

Glowing from our success we jump straight into the buses and head to our third and final peak – Snowdon.

DAY 3 - SNOWDON

It’s an early start today as we begin our final summit trek. We’ll take the Pyg track to ascend Snowdon – the highest mountain in Wales at 1,085m. Once we summit Snowdon our efforts will be hopefully rewarded with glorious views stretching as far as the eye can see.

We will descend following the Llanberis route, before enjoying a celebratory lunch! We then take the transfer back to Chester train station for drop offs after a long, but very rewarding two days.

Responsible Tourism is high on both our priority lists. Preserving landscapes and treating them with respect is standard, and we believe we must find the time to care, not only for the places, we visit but for their people too. For each participant who signs up to this trek, Global Adventure Challenges plant one tree!

The Ella Dawson Foundation will be with you every step of the way supporting you with your fundraising. Thank you so much for choosing to raise money and take on this incredible challenge to make a difference to the lives of young people with cancer and their families.
