Climbing for a Cause: Gravita Takes on the Yorkshire Three Peaks

On the 20^th September, 15 members of the Gravita team are taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks, a 24-mile hike across Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, all within 12 hours, in support of two incredible charities: Macmillan Cancer Support and Long Covid Kids.

This is no small challenge. It’s tough, physically demanding, and requires resilience, which is why our team has been training hard to prepare.

We’re aiming to raise £3,600, and every donation, big or small, will bring us one step closer to that goal, while directly supporting the vital work these charities do for families and individuals across the UK.

With less than a month to go, we’d love your support in helping them reach the finish line.

Follow their journey and support the team here.

We’re proud to be standing alongside Macmillan and Long Covid Kids, supporting their missions and the difference they make every day. Macmillan Cancer Support and Long Covid kids were selected as charity partners by the London Gravita team, each Gravita region votes on the charity they would like to support.
