This March a group of club members will be undertaking the Welsh Three Peaks challenge in order to raise money for the Helen Keller Intl charity. Vitamin A is a staple part of many diets in the western world, with supplementations easily available. For families living in impoverished environments, this does not come easily, and a lack of vitamin A can cause major problems, especially in children.

Just two doses of Vitamin A a year can massively increase a child's well-being, preventing blindness and reducing the child mortality that occurs as a result of deficiency.

For more information on this, take a look at the Helen Keller organisation page.

The Welsh Three Peaks challenge is a 17-mile-long hike, with an ascent of 2,334 meters. It covers the Welsh mountains of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Cadair Idris, and Pen y Fan. Over the past few months, we have been completing hikes in order to prepare for this (rather daunting) undertaking, traveling around the Brecon Beacons in all ranges of weather!
