A charity which supports the mental health of emergency services personnel and their families has launched a virtual Three Peaks Challenge event in lieu of the real thing, which has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

‘Our Blue Light’ exists to push for much-needed change to the help given to those in the emergency services in relation to mental health and well-being.

The charity were set to embark on their Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge on 9 May, but the Government lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19 has put a stop to that. Instead, they are asking people to take part in a virtual version of the event.

Participants only need two things: stairs and the mental strength to get through the challenge. In total, you’ll climb nearly 11,000 steps to complete the task – 769 flights of stairs to be more precise (if they have 14 steps) over one or three days.

A spokesperson for Our Blue Line said: “During this difficult time, do you fancy a combined mental and physical challenge of climbing your own stairs as if you are carrying out the Yorkshire 3 Peak Challenge.

“Our Blue Light Charity need your support in helping raise money to support projects to provide help and support for the members of the Emergency and Essential Services with their mental health.

The challenge consists of the following:

  • Pen-y-Gent = 3470  (248 flights of stairs if 14 steps per flight)
  • Whernside = 3680 (263 flights of stairs if 14 steps per flight)
  • Ingleborough = 3615 (258 flights of stairs if 14 steps per flight)

Our Blue Light say the minimum donation to take part in the virtual challenge is £10, which must be paid on registration.

Find out more about the virtual Three Peaks Challenge on the Our Blue Light website.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
