My Story

This summer myself, Joe, Freddie and Sam are taking on the Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for the Charlie Watkins Foundation, supporting a cause that’s incredibly close to our hearts. We are attempting to climb the three highest peaks in the UK – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon – in under 24 hours.

We’ve chosen to do this challenge in 2025, as it marks what would have been the 30th birthday of my brother, Charlie, who tragically passed away due to mental health struggles. In his memory, the Charlie Watkins Foundation was set up to raise awareness, offer support, and drive change for mental health issues.

This challenge is our way of honouring his life and the foundation’s mission. We’re hoping to raise vital funds to help others who are struggling, so that they don’t have to face the same battles Charlie did.

Your support means the world to us and to the work the foundation is doing. Please consider donating to help us reach our goal, and let’s make sure Charlie’s legacy continues to shine.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
