Taking place on Saturday, June 7, St Ann’s are calling on experienced hikers or simply those seeking a new challenge to help make a real difference. 

Those taking part are asked to raise vital funds for St Ann’s Hospice through sponsorship while preparing for the challenge. 

Picture yourself trekking through the stunning Yorkshire Dales, conquering the peaks of Pen-y-ghent (684m), Whernside (736m), and Ingleborough (723m), all while proudly wearing your #TeamStAnns gear.
