This year, Laura decided to organise an incredible fundraising challenge in aid of Spread a Smile, recruiting four of her friends to take on the 12 hour Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge – a 24-mile circular hike over Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, with 1,600 metres of ascent.
Laura said, “This year instead of our usual fly and flop girls trip, I encouraged my friends to take on the three peaks Yorkshire for the wonderful charity Spread a Smile. We have all wondered at times what we have let ourselves in for!
“Working for the charity is my absolute honour. Spread a Smile’s wonderful team are truly an amazing bunch. The work they do is incredible. Fundraising has been a pleasure and there’s been many generous donations.”
So far Laura, Anna, Caroline, Hayley and Steph have raised an incredible £20,000 to support our work and help ensure we can continue to spread many more smiles to children with serious illnesses and their families.
A huge thank you to this incredible team for all their hard work and support. Congratulations on a wonderful achievement which will have a lasting impact for the families we support.
