About the event
📅 Date: Friday 26th - Sunday 28th of June 2026
📍 Location: Cadair Idris, Snowdon and Pen y Fan, Wales
🏃 Challenge: Three Welsh Peaks Challenge - hiking three peaks in three days
We are delighted to share that Olga Pell and her colleagues from an NHS Vascular Team have completed the Three Welsh Peaks Challenge in support of The UK Charity for TNBC.
Across three days, the team climbed Cadair Idris, Snowdon and Pen y Fan, taking on one peak each day to raise funds and awareness in support of their colleague Emily and others affected by triple-negative breast cancer.
It was a fantastic achievement and a truly inspiring effort from everyone involved. The whole team put so much determination, energy and heart into the challenge, and they were even joined by some wonderful fur babies along the way, who did an amazing job walking with them.
Olga and the Team’s Story
Olga and her colleagues took on this challenge in support of their amazing colleague and friend, Emily, who was diagnosed with TNBC just before Christmas last year.
Since then, Emily has faced countless hospital appointments, scans, treatments and chemotherapy sessions, while also coming to terms with the loss of her hair and the many challenges that cancer brings.
Throughout it all, Olga and the team say Emily has shown remarkable strength, resilience and courage every step of the way. Rather than letting her diagnosis define her, Emily has faced it head-on with determination and positivity, inspiring everyone around her.
They shared:
“It is therefore a privilege for us to take on the Three Welsh Peaks Challenge in support of Emily and all those affected by TNBC. Through this challenge, we hope to raise awareness, celebrate the incredible strength of those living with this disease and support the vital work being carried out to improve outcomes for people diagnosed with TNBC.”
A Huge Fundraising Success
We are incredibly grateful to Olga and her colleagues for choosing to support The UK Charity for TNBC and for helping us continue our work for people affected by TNBC.
The team originally set out to raise £3,000, but thanks to their incredible efforts and the generosity of everyone who has supported them, they have now completely surpassed that target. Their latest donation has taken their fundraising total to over £5,000, which is an outstanding achievement.
From their successful cake sale at work to completing the Three Welsh Peaks Challenge itself, Olga and the team have gone above and beyond to raise awareness and vital funds for people affected by triple-negative breast cancer.
A huge well done and heartfelt thank you to Olga, the team and their brilliant four-legged walking companions for such an incredible achievement.
