How your fundraising can make a difference
Spotlight on Lynne
Lynne signed up for the 2023 Chilterns 3 Peaks Challenge – it was her third time taking part. She says:
“I love taking part in the Chilterns 3 Peaks Challenge. After I was treated for cancer, Rennie Grove put me back together thanks to its counselling, complementary therapy and exercise services. I love taking the chance to do something to give back to the charity for everything it did for me.
“Last year I walked with both my adult children and they also loved it. My son commented on how wonderful the atmosphere is and how friendly everybody was – from the marshals to the volunteers on the water stations. I’m really looking forward to the day again this year. It’s a great chance to get out in the fresh air, enjoy the wonderful views and do something to give back to Rennie Grove Peace, which I credit with getting me back on my feet and able to do such things again.”
By taking part this year you will help support us to help more people like Lynne.
