Ever fancied tackling Yorkshire’s Three Peaks? We now have places available to join Team Day One on this memorable challenge in June 2025.
To help inspire you, we’re sharing Paul’s story…
Fundraiser Paul McClorry of Hudgell Solicitors took on Inglebrough, Whernshide and Pen-y-Ghent earlier this year as part of a triple challenge, raising over £3,200 to support people impacted by catastrophic injury.
Paul’s triple challenges included the Great North SwimRun, where he ran 21km in a wetsuit and swam over 3km with trainers on, the formidable Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge and a further 100km of running, walking, and swimming in our 100k in June challenge alongside colleagues, with a little hopping, skipping and jumping thrown in for good measure.
Paul told us ““The Yorkshire Three Peaks was probably the highlight. It was a typically wet and windy Yorkshire day, but that didn’t stop everyone getting on with the challenge and having a good laugh. It was about camaraderie mixed with grit and determination, to see so many people from so many different companies was amazing.”
“I was very proud to support Day One. The challenges were about raising money and raising people’s awareness that, with the support of charities such as Day One, people can recover from life-changing injuries and look forward positively.”
Senior Fundraiser, Hayley Ibbotson, said: “Paul’s fundraising has been absolutely brilliant and we’re incredibly grateful for his support. ..”
“We don’t receive any NHS or government funding so we rely on the generosity of our supporters to ensure we can be there for people when they need us. Paul’s fantastic total will make an enormous difference to people facing the long and complex journey to recovery after traumatic injury.”
