Mark, Amy, and Adam – aka Team Fish – set off bright and early at 3:37am on Saturday morning to tackle the mighty Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge. And after a staggering 55,000 steps each, they did it! 💪♥️
Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone who kindly sponsored the team – we are now just short of £850 raised for MISSED A BEAT! Your generosity means so much and directly helps us provide life-saving defibrillators to those who need them most.
If you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, it’s not too late – you can still sponsor Mark, Amy, and Adam and show your support for their incredible effort and the cause they walked for. Every pound truly makes a difference.
Sadly, amidst the incredible spirit of the day, there was a heartbreaking moment. Just before reaching the summit of Pen-y-Ghent, the team witnessed an air ambulance arriving to attend to a fellow walker who had suffered a cardiac arrest. Tragically, despite their best efforts, he could not be saved. Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this difficult time.
This tragic event was a stark reminder of why MISSEDABEAT exists. After discussing the day and the vital funds raised, we’re now looking at the possibility of placing a community defibrillator in the area or funding two portable defibrillators for the guides who support these climbs. We’ll be speaking with local coordinators and guides to determine the most effective way to help.
As for Mark Errington… he’s officially hanging up his hiking boots:
"That’s me done! I ache in places I didn’t even know contained muscles. Let’s just say father time – and a life lived like Keith Richards’ wilder twin – has finally taken its toll!"— Mark Errington
Once again, thank you for every message, share, cheer, and donation. You’ve helped make every step of this journey count.
