A member of the Smoking Gun team, Carey, and nine of her friends took on the challenge of climbing the three peaks in 24 hours to raise money for Lupus UK.

The team managed to complete the challenge in 23 hours and 29 minutes raising £5,000. They took on the mountains in honour of their close friend who suffers from the illness.

Raising awareness for Lupus is extremely important as it is often misdiagnosed and because there is not a lot of Government funding put forward for research. To find out more about Lupus click here, or if you would like to donate to the charity click here
