Mark Woodbridge, 44 and his brother Paul, 41, took on a challenge to raise cash for the Child Bereavement Charity (CBC) which helped Paul and his wife Louise after their two-year-old twins died in a tragic accident at home.

Since the deaths, almost four years ago, the family has received support and help from the charity.

Mark, who lives in Tring Road, Wilstone joined his brother and 13 others including pal Paul Lovis, also of Wilstone on the Three Peaks Challenge in June.

To successfully complete the task they had to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon within 24 hours. They managed the gruelling feat with just 10 minutes to spare.

Father of three Mark said: "Every year my brother has been doing an event to raise funds for the charity." These have included half marathons and clay pigeon shooting events.

Of the latest challenge, Mark, said: "It was very gruelling.

"Ben Nevis was the first mountain we did and there was snow at the summit. Scafell, which was the second one was quite pleasant, it was dry with no bad weather. Snowdon was just like a blizzard. Four of the group had to turn back. We did it with 10 minutes to spare. It was quite a race."

The group has now handed over more than £25,000 in sponsorship money to the charity, of which Paul and Louise, who live in Berkshire, are now patrons.
