Rossendale Resident set to Tackle Lancashire Three Towers and walk 32 miles for a Local Charity

This ambitious undertaking is more than just a personal milestone for Emma, who turns 49 this year. “I wanted to do this walk for a couple of reasons,” Emma explained. “One being that I turn 49 this year and fancied setting myself a personal challenge to see out my forties. The other is that I want to try and raise as much money as I can for a local charity and make my miles count, beyond just for myself.”

Emma's choice of charity is Positive Action in the Community (PAC), a vital organisation serving East Lancashire. “I moved to Rossendale nearly 20 years ago and it is very much my adopted home. So it was important to me that I found a charity with strong roots in East Lancashire and PAC is the perfect fit. It’s a real privilege to be raising money for them and I hope I do them proud.”

PAC works tirelessly to support vulnerable individuals in the community, addressing critical issues such as youth homelessness, domestic abuse, and mental health challenges. Their work provides essential support and resources to thousands of local people each year.

The Lancashire Three Towers challenge, organised by Abigail’s Trails, is a demanding feat that requires both physical and mental resilience. Abigail from Abigail’s Trails said, “We are thrilled to be guiding Emma and others on this incredible journey. The Three Towers challenge is a testament to the strength and determination of those who take it on, and it’s inspiring to see Emma using this opportunity to support such a worthy cause.”

Claire Bennett, CEO of Positive Action in the Community, expressed her gratitude: “We are incredibly grateful to Emma for choosing PAC as her beneficiary. Her dedication and commitment to this challenge will make a significant difference in the lives of those we support. The funds raised will enable us to continue providing vital services to our community's most vulnerable members. Emma’s support also helps us to increase the awareness of PAC; and I would encourage the Rossendale community to get behind her walk and her fundraising campaign to create a positive impact on PAC’s charitable mission.
