THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE FOR THE TRAVERS FOUNDATION
Well-known Gretton resident Susan Forsey wanted a new challenge - but instead of taking up painting or advanced Sudoku she decided to undertake The Three Peaks Challenge on 4th July, 2015.
This is no gentle walk in the park either, as it involves tackling the highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland in just 24 hours - Scafell Pike (978m), Snowdon (1085m) and Ben Nevis (1344m).
Susan's raising funds for Northamptonshire-based charity The Travers Foundation, which was founded by her husband Terry.
The Travers Foundation helps 13 to 30 year olds living in Northamptonshire, Rutland or Leicestershire improve their skills in sports, the creative arts and the performing arts.
Susan explains: "I want to achieve something I've never done before with some good friends. I've no idea how I'll cope but will, with their support, succeed!
"I thought about who I'd like to raise money for and wanted to support a charity where every penny was well spend without any money being spend on administration. I chose Terry's charity, The Travers Foundation, because it's a local charity helping young people and I feel my contribution will have a real impact on an emerging athlete or an aspiring local artist."
Susan has set up a Just Giving page for donations - https://www.justgiving.com/Susans-3-Peaks/ or there's a sponsor form available at Gretton Post Office and Stores.
