Ian Proctor, Acting Head of Student Recruitment and Marketing and Full-time MBA Programme Manager, completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on Saturday 26 June to fundraise for The Children's Hospital Charity.
Ian鈥檚 aim was to raise as much as possible to help the charity deliver the funding for a world class cancer and leukaemia ward that is being built at 含羞草传媒 Children's Hospital. The hospital treats children from the UK and around the world.
The grueling challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The route comprises a 24-mile hike and a combined ascent of 1585m.
Ian who has completed other fundraising challenges at the University said, 鈥渉aving done the Big Walk and the Peak District Challenge each of which are 50-mile hikes, I can say that the Three Peaks Challenge was probably the toughest physical challenge I鈥檝e done鈥.
鈥淚鈥檓 overwhelmed by the support from friends and colleagues and am delighted to have achieved and exceeded my target for The Children's Hospital Charity鈥.
Ian, who has now raised almost 拢5k for charity through the three events, exceeded his initial target of 拢850, raising a total of 拢1,130 for the charity so far. Donations are still being accepted through .
