Three Peaks Challenge – please support Eugenie

Former pupil takes on ‘Three Peaks’ Challenge.

Some of you may have had the pleasure of receiving my multi coloured letters at school… others of you who did not receive those delights will have at some stage received an email or two from me and somewhere along the line you will now have become aware of my rather imaginative spelling…

Some may say it’s endearing and yes I definitely play on it occasionally, but for the most part it is quite frustrating…

Dyslexia is something they realised I had when I was 11 and once noted I spent many a lunch hour having to trek off to “Extra English” sitting in a room looking at cards saying city, centre, cycle, “s”,  I’m not sure if it made a huge difference to my spelling and reading – there wasn’t a very wide understanding of the difficulties then (I’m old now!) but in the vain hope that I can make it a little bit easier for another child at school now who is struggling to get to grips with their reading, writing, grammar, maths, there and their and hear and here, and if I can save them that frustration emotion of constantly being corrected then I’m going to try!

SO…. I’m climbing the 3 peaks in September with Alannah and Graham.  The idea is to climb the 3 highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 Hours… Having never been very keen on sport and my fairly bad vertigo it should be an interesting 24 hours!!

The charity I’m going to be doing this for is The Dyslexia Teaching Centre.  It’s a school in central London I went to myself in my school holidays. I went back to visit the other day to see how it was progressing and although it has come on leaps and bounds from the one room it was when I went there, it still needs as much charitable support as possible. I would be hugely grateful for anything you could donate to what I think is a very good charity and worthy cause…
