The amazing group of bandsmen and women of Three Peaks Brass, who undertook the challenge of climbing the three highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales in just 24 hours on the weekend are now able to celebrate their superb achievement.

Smash target

Not only did they smash their target of raising £10,000 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society, but they also gained a mass of media attention, especially after helping a stricken climber return to safety on Ben Nevis.

Did it!

Spokesperson Steve March told 4BR: "Well, we only bloody did it! Not only that but we also appeared on a host of BBC Radio Stations, got a shout out on Radio 2 and have two articles on BBC news sites — one was the 19th most viewed article on the BBC News website on Saturday."

Smashed target

He added: "We are now up to £15,000 in sponsorship, which has smashed the £10,000 target, so we have raised it to £20,000 thanks to the amazing support from the banding community."
