Three Peaks in Three Weeks Challenge 2024

Little Trooper Alex completed the Three Peaks Challenge in 3 weeks over June 2024 with his Dad and raised over £500.00 for Little Troopers.

Alex told us, “Climbing a mountain for the first time last weekend was an experience like no other. I thought it would be easy to climb three hills but I was wrong! It was tough in parts, especially at the end when my legs were killing me but I knew that I could do it. I’m doing this for four reasons. To climb a mountain for the first time and to get my three peaks medal. Raise money for charity and to have the best time ever with my parents.”
