🏔️ Climbing for a Cause: The Three Peaks Challenge 2025 in Memory of Jakub
In the week commencing 16th June 2025, four of Jakub’s closest friends will take on one of the UK’s toughest endurance tests — the Three Peaks Challenge 2025 — in memory of Jakub and in support of Jak’s World Suicide Prevention Charity.
Their goal? To summit Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon — the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales — all within 24 hours.
This powerful journey is more than just a physical feat. It is a tribute to Jakub’s life, a show of solidarity, and a call to action to support mental health and suicide prevention across the UK. Together, we aim to raise awareness, start conversations, and raise funds for the life-changing work being done through Jak’s World.
🧗♂️ The Climbers
The names of the climbers will be confirmed soon, but they are four dedicated friends of Jakub who have committed themselves to completing this intense challenge in his memory. Their courage and camaraderie reflect the very spirit that Jak’s World was built upon — to be there for one another, to push through tough times, and to never climb alone.
