Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge – In Memory of Dan

This year marks 10 years since we lost Dan, and to celebrate his life (and possibly question our own life choices),  Dan's good friends Josh, Tony, Scott and Bateman and Dan's Sister Helen, friend Katie and colleague Josh will be taking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge on 4th July 2026

Over the course of the day, we'll attempt to conquer Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough — around 24 miles of walking, over 5,000 feet of climbing, and countless opportunities for aching legs, blistered feet and complaints about whose idea this was.

The challenge is being completed in memory of Dan and to mark the 10th anniversary of his passing.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help motivate us up the next hill when our legs are telling us otherwise. Your support means a great deal to us and helps continue the incredible work of the Foundation.

Thank you for your generosity, encouragement and belief that we'll make it to the finish line.

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation has been set up to raise awareness of sudden cardiac death in the young and to provide funding towards heart screening, defibrillators and CPR/defibrillator training primarily for grass-roots sports teams. The charity was set up in memory of Daniel Wilkinson who died in 2016 aged 24, while playing the game he loved, from a previously undiagnosed heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Other than feeling light headed on a few occasions in the month before he died, he had no symptoms. Dan played football from an early age and joined Hull City AFC when he was 10, earning a professional contract when he was aged 18. Loughborough University followed where he attained an Honours Degree in Accounting and Financial Management while playing non-league football. He was an athlete who enjoyed the gym and took his health and nutrition very seriously. He lived life to the full and had so much ahead of him. Tragedies can be prevented through cardiac screening. It is vital that young people who may be at risk are identified and treated.
