Carla takes on three peaks fundraising challenge

Carla Grant will take on the Three Peaks Challenge on Sunday 28 August 2022 to raise funds in support of Forces Children Scotland.

Forces Children Scotland holds a special place in Carla’s heart, who is a former beneficiary and recently appointed Trustee for the charity.

Inspired by her passion for the charity and desire to pursue random challenges with her bestie, Zoe, in the lead up to her 30th birthday, Carla will cover Mount Snowden, Scaffel Pike and Ben Nevis in the space of 24 hours.

Carla has committed so much time and commitment to training over the past six months, a commitment galvanised further by her determination to raise money in support of children and young people from armed forces and veteran families.

Equally, Carla hopes sharing her personal journey will serve to raise greater awareness of the work of the charity and to inspire children and young people from serving, reservist and veteran families to learn more about how the charity can help them too.

Carly said:

“My work bestie and I love nature and enjoy pushing our limits and we have decided to try a new adventure with the Three Peaks Challenge.

I have chosen to fundraise for Forces Children Scotland because they supported me all through university and I am now a Trustee. They support young people of serving, reservist and veteran families and I would like to pay back for the support I received.

“It’s also a great opportunity to promote the work of Forces Children Scotland, and I warmly invite armed forces and veteran families to learn more about how the charity can support their children and young people to realise their potential and thrive.

“All donations will be greatly received and supporters can be assured their support will make a huge difference to support children and young people overcome unique challenges to mental health and wellbeing, education and learning and so much more.”

Good luck Carla, we know you will smash this fundraising challenge! Donations can be made via Carla’s Just Giving page: bit.ly/3AGhjic
