3 Peaks Challenge for UCLH On the last weekend in June 2012 when the sun should have been shining, Sean Mathieson, Sarah Wilsher & their dedicated driver, Angela took on the 3 peaks challenge over 24 hours in aid of the Neonatal unit at University College Hospital London.

Great effort everyone, thank you.	Just an Ickle Bit Further! Heavy rain and rolling clouds couldn't dampen the spirits of the 125 walkers who had committed to the 23 mile walk around Portsmouth in aid of the NNU at Cosham. Each walker was kitted out in an Ickle Pickle t-shirt & supremely organised by our Ambassador Lorraine. Many pubs supported the thirsty fundraisers and a local Asda kindly provided refreshments.
