Emma Corrie Takes on the 24 hour 3 Peaks Challenge
Emma Corrie who works at Gloucester Royal Hospital in the Haematology Department took part in this years 24 hour 3 Peaks Challenge to raise funds for Help for Heroes and LINC.
Emma said "The 3 peaks challenge on 28th/29th of August was sadly cut short after the second peak, scarfell pike because the driver had been terribly sick while we were climbing, so disappointedly I had to abort the attempt to finish as it was necessary to get him back to Gloucestershire.
With everybody's support with the donations I decided to give the 3 peaks a second attempt which was last weekend, I was with a different crew this time, and I decided we should hire a car and drive ourselves. This made the challenge the hardest challenge I've done to date as I realised it wasn't the problem of the mountains but the staying alert of the driving. Anyway, I'm pleased to say we did complete the 3 peaks successfully, 23 hours 40 mins.
I like to thank everybody for the support and understanding during the 3 week gap between the two climbs and like to thank Elizabeth Corrie (my mother) for supporting me at the CGH site with regards to donations and sending everyone updates and I would also like to thank to the other two guys (Tom and Sven) who came with me on my 2nd attempt and helped me finish the challenge."
