Why, the Three Peak Challenge of course. On Friday 19th May 2017 a tea of GDA supporters and staff will be making their way to Scotland to take on the firs of the three tallest peaks in the UK, Ben Nevis in Scotland. They'll then be attempti Scafell in England and Snowdon in Wales. And what's more, they'll be hoping to complete the challenge in 24 hours! The team of twelve is made up of Deaf and hearing brave adventurers and over the next few months they'll be putting in hours of training and lots of fundraising effort with initiatives including car washes, quiz nights and a photoshoot. They've already topped the £1,400 fundraising total so they're well on target to making this our biggest fundraising challenge to date.
