A BIG thank you to Peter Hogan and his team for raising almost £3,000 (and still collecting) for Arrhythmia Alliance by completing his 24 hour 3 Peaks Challenge!
The 3 Peaks Challenge involved climbing the three biggest mountains in Great Britain, which are Ben Nevis (Scotland), Scafell Pike (Cumbria) and Snowdon within a 24 hour period.
We send our congratulations for achieving this magnificent feat with only ten minutes to spare!!!
If you would like to fundraise or join supporters like Pete in organising an event please contact wendy.adams@heartrhythmcharity.org.uk
