An uphill struggle
10 June 2010  

A team of Southampton General Hospital workers are preparing to take on the UK’s three highest peaks in 24 hours to raise funds for Radio Lollipop.

The team of six walkers and two support crew will scale the heights of Scotland’s Ben Nevis, England’s Scafell Pike, and Snowdon in North Wales.

The group have set themselves a target of £1,500 which will buy art & craft materials and activities for Southampton Radio Lollipop for a whole year.

The challenge, which takes place on June 12 and 13, involves 26 miles of walking with a total ascent of more than 9,000 feet as well as a drive of over 500 miles – and all within 24 hours.
