On the weekend of the 7th and 8th of June a team from LEWIS PR will be taking part in the 3 Peaks Challenge in Aid of CARE International.

I'll come onto what the challenge involves in a second but the really important thing here is that CARE International is one of the largest relief organisations working in spite of the Burmese regime to take much needed aid into that part of South East Asia.

Year-round, CARE works tirelessly in much of the developing world but the crisis in Burma is a timely reminder that there is much we can all do for people less fortunate than ourselves.

...now, back to this Challenge. A team of five from LEWIS will be covering a distance of 40km (climbing through a total elevation of 12,000 feet over the three highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales respectively. To make matters tougher it is a race against the clock to complete the Challenge within 24 hours, including travel time between the well-dispersed peaks!)

We have set a target of £6,000 which we are hoping to raise and having met all costs ourselves we're delighted to say that every penny raised will go towards the work CARE does. So please dig deep and give whatever you can by visiting our JustGiving web page.

Good luck. It's bloody tough. We've got a Rainier PR team doing it the week after you, myself included. We did a recce up Snowdon this weekend. Time's were okay - 1hr 54mins up 1 hr 20mins down, but then its the easiest of the three.
