The Mountain Series
Do you think you can beat Ben Nevis, soar up Snowdon, scale Scafell and make your way up Whernside?
The Alder Hey Children’s Charity Mountain Series is made up of three of our most challenging hiking events – The Yorkshire Three Peaks, Snowdon by Night, and The National Three Peaks.
Anyone who completes all three of these challenges, including ones already completed, whilst raising money for Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, will become an Alder Hey Mountain Series Champion. There is no time limit, and no set order to complete it in.
Presenting an opportunity to both overcome an incredible challenge and raise money for the 330,000 children that we treat at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital every year, The Mountain Series is ideal for fundraisers who want to push themselves to the limit whilst making a genuine, meaningful impact to our brave young patients.

Our Inspiration
Our brave young patients are constantly climbing mountains and overcoming adversity, and we couldn’t be more proud of them. They’re the reason we do what we do. Please read some of their stories below.

Riziah
Nine year old Riziah was named after the word ‘resilient’ when she was just a little bump in her mum’s tummy, and this is why… Riziah was born with a rare condition called Heterotaxy Syndrome, which causes internal organs to be abnormally arranged inside the body.
Oscar
In October 2024, Oscar, aged 6, was involved in a quad bike accident while with his family near his home in Penyfford, North Wales. As a result of the accident, Oscar was taken to The Countess of Chester Hospital before being blue-lighted to Alder Hey in Liverpool.
Lillie
When Lillie’s mum was just nine weeks pregnant, she and her family were informed that their unborn baby had gastroschisis. In January 2025, 37 weeks into her pregnancy, Ainsley gave birth to Lillie, who weighed 4lb 8oz. Straight after her birth, Lillie was blue-lighted to Alder Hey and, at just two hours old, underwent her first surgery.
Mia
Mia has a condition called Microtia and has had hearing loss in her right ear since she was born. Microtia is a congenital condition in which the external part of the ear is underdeveloped, malformed, or missing. Mia has recently had a Sentio implant, which is state-of-the-art hearing technology designed to restore or enhance hearing.
