Despite exhaustion and minimal sleep, the challenge was a powerful journey of resilience, teamwork, and personal growth. The shared experience left lasting memories and strengthened bonds among the group members.

The group were raising funds for the Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Charitable Fund.
