3 Peaks Challenge: We did it!

15 Jul 2009

By the end of this last weekend, it wasn’t just Piers’s Blackberry that was running out of batteries as he live-blogged the teams progress on the 3 Peaks Challenge, sending photos straight from the wilderness to THFC Space – everyone was drained after climbing 3 mountains without a break. The team came back down the last peak with aching knees, sodden to the skin and freezing cold but with a great sense of achievement. Here are more photos of the big adventure:

At the last count, we have now raised £8478 for Breast Cancer Campaign so we are all thrilled that all the blood and sweat (well, no tears, at least!) was worth it! There’s still time left to add your donation to this good cause – you can do so securely online at http://www.justgiving.com/thfc3peaks, which remains open until 10 August 2009. Alternatively, you can contact one of the THFC team on 020 7337 9920 or via offices@thfcorp.com to make an offline donation.
