COWLING cyclist Gemma Towell is hard in training as she gears up to tackle the National Three Peaks Challenge.
Gemma, who works as a production co-ordinator for Whitakers Chocolates in Skipton, is running each of the peaks – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon – and cycling between them to raise money for the Manorlands Sue Ryder hospice at Oxenhope.
Gemma, 41, said: “During the May Spring Bank holiday week I will be aiming to complete the 485 miles from Fort William in Scotland to Llanberis in Wales in under five days with the support of my husband, Peter, and our three dogs in the van.
“After a sketchy start to my training year due to the flu and a chest infection, I am fighting my way back to fitness.
“Every day Manorlands needs to raise £9,000 just to keep running, so please help if you can.”
Gemma has a fundraising page at justgiving.com/fundraising/just-gemmatowell.
