When I came across a flyer for the NORTH Foundation Three Peaks Challenge, I immediately saw it as the perfect way to raise funds for mental health services. The challenge represents more than just climbing mountains, it’s about showing that, no matter how difficult the journey, we can overcome the challenges we face, both mentally and physically.”
