On 8th May 2019, James Tempest will be attempting to conquer the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in memory of his very dear friend Maggie Bushman. Maggie, or Mags as she’s known to close friends and family, was a member and huge supporter of HER Breast Friends after using the Charity’s services during her journey.
As a surrogate Auntie to James, Mags touched so many peoples lives with her massive sense of fun and infectious smile – even when things were at their worst!
So to honour her memory, whist raising much needed funds for HER Breast Friends and despite not attempting anything like this previously, James has set himself this amazing challenge and is training hard for the occasion.
If anyone would like to support James by donating to his cause, or would like to read more about his story please use the following link:

Training is going well, with James already completig 2 training walks through Millington, Welton and Brantingham during particularly cold and windy conditions. He aims to do an 8-10 mile hike each week in the run up to the actual challenge.
James warming by the fire! Harder than it looks!
Looking back at Hull… somewhere in the distance!
Well done James, it’s a huge challenge and Maggie would be so proud of you – she would also say you are totally bonkers!!
Keep the updates coming and thank you so very much – you are a star x
