Are you ready to rise to the challenge? Join Luke and hike England's highest mountain for Sheffield Hospitals Charity!

The Event

Luke is raising funds for Sheffield Hospitals Charity by organising a hiking event. Participants will summit Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain, with expert guidance from Lake District-based outdoor pursuits company, *Viking Activities*. This one-day hike will see up to 60 adventurers guided safely up and down the iconic peak, all while supporting a fantastic cause.

Luke's Story

We’ve embarked on a mission to raise funds for Sheffield Hospitals Charity, with a particular focus on supporting NICU at Jessops. NICU, or the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, is where our daughter Elodie received exceptional care immediately after her birth. It’s a special unit that looks after sick and premature babies born in Sheffield, as well as those transferred from other hospitals in need of their specialised expertise.

Both my partner and I relied heavily on the NICU during those early days of Elodie’s life, and we are forever grateful for the support and care they provided. Elodie couldn't breathe sufficiently on her own and we felt helpless. We never expected that she would need this kind of care. Thanks to their dedication, Elodie has since overcome her initial struggles and is thriving. The experience of seeing such professionalism, compassion, and skill firsthand has had a profound impact on us.

Now, we want to give back. Our goal is to help ensure that Sheffield Hospitals Charity can continue to support NICU with things like family accommodation so new parents can be near their poorly baby, providing round the clock refreshments for families, funding a family care nurse to give vital support and parent packs with some much needed essentials. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go a long way in supporting the brilliant work they do in helping families like us.
