A 13 year old boy is set to climb the three peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, a total of 11,179 feet in three days. (Daily Telegraph).
Robin Butler, the son of Afghanistan war hero Brigadier Ed Butler, who will join him in the climb, is raising money for the foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths and the British Heart Foundation. His sister Augusta died in her sleep at four weeks old, a year before he was born, and he needed open heart surgery to correct a mal-function when he was four days old, his reasons for wanting to support the charities.
