00:00Hi I'm Annabelle Scott. Annabelle tell me where we are and what's happening over the weekend.
00:04Yeah so we're at Westhill Park School which is where there's 25 mothers and staff, female mothers
00:09and staff, all coming together to do the three peak challenge. We fly to Glasgow this afternoon
00:16and then start the challenge at five o'clock this evening. Brilliant. Tell me why you're doing the
00:20challenge. We're doing it because really sadly one of the mothers here, Heloise Blessey, passed away
00:25from motor neurons in May this year and I thought it was a real opportunity you know in such sadness
00:31to actually all come together and do something positive and it's just been mind-blowing in terms
00:35of the a how many people are doing it and b the support behind the school and also the family.
00:41It's been really uplifting for the family which has been hugely endearing and yeah we as of this
00:47morning we've raised over £21,000 which is just incredible. Amazing. Have you any of you
00:52done a challenge like this before? No, no we haven't. No so I mean there's a real array, there's a real
00:59mix of females within the group from different fitness levels, different ages and that's probably
01:05been the most special by-product of all of this. It's kind of collectively all coming together
01:10and with such a purpose as well so yeah no we haven't but as of tomorrow at 5pm hopefully
01:16the answer will be different. And so I understand obviously this is about raising not only the
01:24money but awareness as well so tell me a bit more about that and what that money is, why it's so
01:29important for that? Yeah for sure what's seriously special about this is that it was actually
01:34Heloise who chose the charity and so I was able to speak with her prior to her passing away and
01:40she chose the charity that we're raising for which is My Name's Doddie 5. They're a
01:45smaller charity and they were a huge support to her and her family and this type of donation is
01:50going to be hugely influential for them in terms of raising further research, further knowledge
01:55around it so yeah it feels very special. Wish you the best of luck. Thank you so much.
