Less than a week to go

I just wanted to check in briefly with less than a week to go until In2Out's National 3 Peaks Challenge. We're kind of ready - no doubt there will be a bit of a frenzy over the weekend as we hunt for missing socks and boots - and possibly waterproofs...the weather forecast doesn't look amazing at the moment...and one of the assigned cars is making some strange noises - but we'll get there.

Have we got too much stuff??

Our team of elite athletes are Evelyne, Ben and David (also all from the Screeton household), Steve, Tris and myself. I won't say what the age spread is, but it's big! And then Kelly and Chuck are providing all the logistical support with food and drink and critically the 460 miles of driving. It'll be a tough 24 hours for them too.

Just as a reminder, the match-funding giving page goes live at midday on Monday 23rd and will remain open for one week. Hopefully it won't take us that long to complete the challenge!

Please share what we are doing, and why, with your friends and family. Forward them a link to the website or the giving page once it's live, put something on your social media. Who knows, they might be interested too.

The bulk of In2Out's funding may come from larger trusts and foundations, but I know the 'heart' of our support is from people like you that choose to stand with us as we stand alongside our young people. Young people who desperately want to turn their lives around, but who without the right team encouraging and supporting them, probably won't make it. Their 'mountains', are much more challenging than anything we'll face, but we know from joyful experience that they can overcome the hardest of challenges - as I hope we will next week.

Thanks for following and encouraging us along. I think we're going to need it.
