Paul McEwen, 29, will take on The National Three Peaks Challenge after his grandmother Margaret Young, 83, battled multiple sclerosis for about 20 years
A former powerlifter has decided to swap weight training for walking as he gears up to conquer a huge hiking challenge in memory of his beloved gran. Paul McEwan, 29, will take on The National Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for the MS Society.
"She had a long career, including working as a nurse when they lived in Glasgow - she never lost that caring nature. We stayed with my grandma quite a lot when we were kids and she did a lot of things for us; she was very hands on. "Her battle will forever be an inspiration to me and my family. I've thought long and hard about what I could do to honour her and raise money for this wonderful charity."
The climbers will get a chance to rest and refuel as they're transported to Scafell Pike in England , before concluding their endeavour by reaching the summit of Yr Wyddfa in time to witness the sunrise from its peak. The MS Society is the UK's leading charity for people affected by multiple sclerosis. As well as funding research and undertaking campaigns, they also offer emotional support and information about the disease.
