TA Sunshine Appeal Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 At the end of July, 6 members of Fair City Tartan Army will be tackling the 3 Peaks Challenge to raise funds for the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal. They will be climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon - in 24 hours. We have a benefactor who has generously agreed to sponsor the cost of hiring of a minibus. Thank you to Andrew Hughes Logistics Ltd. We have a volunteer driver. Would anyone be interested in sponsoring the guys in terms of covering the minibus fuel costs for the event?

TA Sunshine Appeal Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 (edited) It came round quickly and starts tomorrow at the foot of Ben Nevis, ending Saturday (hopefully less than 24 hours later) on the return from the top of Snowdon (via Scafell Pike). We have the cost of the minibus hire covered by Andrew Hughes Logistics, accommodation by Thompson Solicitors (Glasgow) and fuel costs by Jim Wilson of Lanark. If you could spare a few pounds in sponsoring the guys it would be very much appreciated. https://mydonate.bt.com/teams/fcta3peaks Edited July 28, 2016 by TA Sunshine Appeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TA Sunshine Appeal Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Today's the day. The guys are inching towards their three grand target. Any donation, large or small, that you could make to help them get there would be deeply appreciated. https://mydonate.bt.com/teams/fcta3peaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TA Sunshine Appeal Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Many, many thanks to everyone who have so far sponsored the four guys from Fair City Tartan Army doing the 3 Peaks Challenge. The aim was to climb to the summit of the highest peaks in the three countries making up Great Britain - all within 24 hours. Ben Nevis (in Scotland), Scafell Pike (in England) and Snowdon ( in Wales). They smashed it!! They climbed over 10000 feet, walked over 25 miles and travelled 935 miles........in 21 hours 57 minutes!! If you'd like to recognise the achievement of Neil Kirk, Ally Smith, George Corstorphine and Andy Wilson in raising funds for the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal, their BT Donate Page is still open.https://mydonate.bt.com/teams/fcta3peaks Thanks to them for their magnificent effort and achievement, and to everyone who has contributed to our funds by sponsoring them. Everywhere We Go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA Sunshine Appeal Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 A message from the lads from Fair City Tartan Army who completed the challenge. "Well we got over the £5,000 mark for doing the 24 hour Three Peaks Challenge in under 22 hours which is really is a tremendous amount of money. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated over the last few months, myself, George, Neil, Andy and John really do appreciate it. Andy has already convinced us to sign up for next years challenge - The Stirling Marathon.(anyone who wants to join the fun is more than welcome) If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them....maybe you can join The A-Team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
