On the 6th October, Amanda Holden is setting off on her Three Peaks Challenge in aid of Global’s Make Some Noise, supporting small charities across the UK.
Scaling the three highest peaks in the UK – Mount Snowdon, Scaffell Pike and Ben Nevis. Climbing a total of 10,476 feet. Traveling 706 miles. All in just 24 hours.
The challenge will see her scale the highest mountains of Wales, England and Scotland (Snowdon, Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis) all within just 24 hours – a trek known for its physical and mental toughness.
Amanda’s Motivation
“Here we go! I’m popping on my hiking boots and scaling the 3 highest mountains in the UK! The Three Peaks Challenge is no small task but I’m so excited, and a little bit terrified, to be doing it all in aid of Global’s Make Some Noise. For the past few years, I have had the privilege of meeting incredible people who do truly life-changing work. Right now, so many people across the UK are living in crisis and they need our help. They have inspired me to take on the toughest challenge of my life!
I’ve done all the training and am supported by a fantastic team on the journey. We’re ready to raise money for these incredible causes and help make some noise for the work that they do!”
Taking on the challenge of a lifetime with Amanda is this team of inspirational people representing many of the charities that Global’s Make Some Noise supports…
