Canary Wharf Team Support the Regiment – 3 Peaks Challenge for Charity

On Friday 26th September, a group of determined individuals from Canary Wharf Security Team will be taking on the formidable National Three Peaks Challenge — climbing the highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis – 4,413 ft), England (Scafell Pike – 3,209 ft), and Wales (Snowdon – 3,560 ft) — all within 24 hours.

That’s 23 miles of rugged terrain, over 10,000 feet of ascent, and hundreds of miles of travel.

Why Do it?

This challenge will be a wonderful team-building exercise and a great test of endurance. Beyond strengthening our team, however, we are undertaking this challenge to raise funds for two incredible causes that are deeply personal to our team — causes that have touched the lives of our colleagues and friends.

The Royal Anglian Regiment Charity – In Support of Martin ‘Nobby’ Alderson

We are also raising funds through the Royal Anglian Regiment Charity to support our friend and former colleague, Martin ‘Nobby’ Anderson.

Martin is a decorated veteran and former police officer who suffered a catastrophic stroke in October 2023 that left him with locked-in syndrome. After 20 months of hospitalisation and rehabilitation, Martin is finally home — but still without the means to leave it.

His family has worked tirelessly to adapt their home, but now they need help funding a powered wheelchair and adapted vehicle so Martin can regain his independence and reconnect with the world he served so selflessly.

“Martin’s mind is as sharp as ever, but without mobility, he’s now locked inside his home. Your support can help give him back the freedom he fought to protect for others.”

Lymphoma Action UK

Lymphoma Action provides trusted information and support to people affected by lymphoma — the UK’s most common blood cancer. This was made even more personal when the partner of our colleague, Rhys, was diagnosed with Lymphoma last year.

Regarding their experience in receiving support from Lymphoma Action UK, Rhys said, “When my wife Mia was diagnosed with lymphoma last year, Lymphoma Action became a lifeline. Their resources helped us stay informed and hopeful during the darkest times. Their support made it possible for us to face the unknown with strength and even humour. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

We are honoured to be able to raise funds for a charity that provided such a high level of support to our colleague and his family.
