Nine year old Hugo Peckham-Cooper is taking on Yorkshire's three largest peaks in this iconic challenge to raise funds for Sunshine & Smiles!
He’ll be taking on the challenge this coming Saturday, 3rd May. Starting at Horton in Ribblesdale, Hugo will walk through the Yorkshire Dales and summit Pen-y-ghent, Ingleborough and Whernside. The route is approximately 25 miles with 1,585m of ascent - no mean feat for anyone!
Hugo has chosen Sunshine and Smiles after hearing about the important Speech and Language Therapy the charity provided to a former pupil at his primary school.

Everyone here at Sunshine & Smiles would like to wish Hugo lots of luck and we can’t wait to hear how you get on!
