3 Peak's Challenge For The Christie Charity
Hi All,
I work for Virgin Media within the Access Planning department, and we are all allowed 1 day a year to do something for a charity of our choice.
This year the Access Planning Department based within Manchester, has decided to take up the 3 Peaks Challenge which you can find out more information here as to what, that is and just how challenging that is.
The option we have chosen is the National 3 Peaks

The members of the team who are actually going to be doing the walk will be aiming to complete it, within 24 hours however it may run over that given different level's of fitness and also traffic on the motorways.
The members of the team who are not completing the walk will be doing other stuff to raise funds, for the chosen charity within the Virgin Media office based in Wythenshawe Manchester.
The charity we have chosen is The Christie Charity, and you can find out more information about what they do at the this link.
http://www.christie.nhs.uk/the-christie-charity.aspx
"The Christie has been pioneering cancer research breakthroughs for over 100 years and is the largest cancer centre in Europe. Treating more than 40,000 patients each year, we were the first UK centre to be officially accredited as a comprehensive cancer centre. Based in Manchester, with radiotherapy centres in Oldham and Salford, we are a national specialist treating 25% of patients from around the country.
Through the impassioned dedication of our 2,500 staff, 350 volunteers and 20,000 members and supporters, we remain committed to helping all those affected by cancer, both now and in the future."
I have spoken to Tom via Personal Messaging on the forum to gain his permission, to post this thread given that this is his site and also business and Tom has kindly given me permission to do this.
The link below is a direct link to the micro site, on the Virgin Money Giving site which is a non profit company that is ran by the Virgin Money group.
None of the funds will be received by myself or by any member of the team who is carrying, out the challenge and will directly go to the charity.

I have requested permission to post this, as we are looking to help raise as much money as we can for the charity.
If any members of the forum wish to donate, it would be greatly received by The Christie as every donation help's them to carry on providing the services that they provide, to all the people who suffer and there families.
There will be photo's and possibly videos that I will post once I have them once the challenge has been completed.
I fully understand if people are not willing to donate given recent events which I am sure people, would have heard about regarding a certain Twitch user but I just thought it was worth the try to help such a worthy cause.
I would just like to also add the thank's to Tom for the permission given and to anyone who chooses to donate on behalf of the Virgin Media Manchester Access Planning Team.
Thank you all for reading
