One Evening – Speakers to be arranged
Speaker – Mary Lamb
Mary was the first woman in a wheelchair to complete the Three Peaks Challenge in 2024 with her assistance dog Sheldon. This year Mary and Sheldon (her trusty dog) are off on their travels again!
This time they’ll attempt to conquer 215 miles between Hornsea and Southport along
the Trans Pennine Trail, climbing right over the Pennines in nine days – all in support
of Dogs for Good!
This is a huge challenge for both Mary and Sheldon. They’ll once again be helped by
the British Army, helping them complete this incredibly tough endurance journey.
Keep a lookout for them between 6 -14 April along the way and give them a cheer!
About Dogs for Good
We understand the powerful change that the connection with a dog can bring about
for individuals, families and groups who find the world around them difficult to
access. Through carefully matched partnerships and tailored training and activities,
they can build the confidence to live happier, healthier and more independent lives.

Speaker – Hetty Kingston
Local cyclist Hetty Kingston lives in the Peak District with her partner and twin daughters, Annie and Flo. When she’s not running her business focused on making the outdoors more accessible and inclusive, she’s usually outside chasing her next adventure – scaling mountains, plunging into cold water, riding her bike for miles, faffing with climbing gear, or running up steep hills. Her adventures have taken her from climbing 4,000m peaks in the Alps to bikepacking through Slovenia and ski-touring in Kazakhstan.
