Month 3 of my 5-month fundraising challenge is complete! 🏔️🥾
March’s challenge was to climb two Munros, and yesterday I took on Ben Lawers (1,214m) and Beinn Ghlas (1,103m). Ben Lawers is the 10th highest mountain in Scotland and normally offers incredible views across Loch Tay and the surrounding Highlands… but yesterday we definitely didn’t get any of them! 🌫️😅 The mist was so thick at times we could barely see in front of us.
It was a tough climb in difficult conditions, but we kept pushing and managed to complete both Munros in 6 hours and 5 minutes (up and down). Reaching the summits despite the weather felt like a huge achievement and another big milestone in this fundraising journey 💪🏔️
I loved it so much that I’ll actually be doing another Munro on the 21st of March… so the challenge continues! 🥾⛰️
A massive thank you to Elaine for taking me up and being such an amazing support throughout the climb. Having someone there encouraging you when it gets tough makes all the difference 🙌
I would personally like to thank each and every one of you for your incredible support so far in my fundraising challenge ❤️ I honestly cannot believe how much has already been raised — and we are not even into the third month of the year yet!
Everyone has been so generous, not only with donations but also with kind words of encouragement and ongoing support. It has truly been an outstanding start to the year, and I cannot thank you all enough for getting behind this cause 🙏
The reason I’m doing this challenge is to raise funds for a Hi-Lo touch table for our residents. This will make a huge difference to their daily lives by providing meaningful stimulation, encouraging social interaction, supporting cognitive engagement, and bringing enjoyment and comfort to so many people in our care 🧠💙
Knowing the positive impact this will have makes every step up these mountains worthwhile.
Being able to do this for our residents gives me great pleasure, but I absolutely could not be doing it without the support of such a thoughtful and generous community. Your kindness will have a lasting impact 🌟

Thank you all again for the incredible support — onwards to the next summit! 🏔️💪
