Graeme Souness will take on his toughest charity challenge yet in September, combining the Three Peaks with three open-water swims over three days in aid of people living with epidermolysis bullosa, or EB. The target is at least £500,000 for DEBRA UK’s EB appeal.
Souness said: "This September, I’m taking on my toughest challenge yet for everyone living with the agony of EB. Three peaks. Three open-water swims. Three days."
He will climb Ben Nevis, Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) and Scafell Pike, then add three high-altitude swims into the same effort. That is a punishing schedule by any standard, and Souness is not pretending otherwise.
He was just as direct about why he is doing it. "It will be brutal – but nothing compared to the pain children and adults with EB face every day."
The route and the target
The challenge is built around a clear set of tasks: Ben Nevis, Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) and Scafell Pike, plus three swims. It supports DEBRA UK’s £20 million Stop the Pain appeal, with Souness aiming to raise at least £500,000 from this effort alone.
He also asked for support in simple terms. "Please sponsor me. Every donation and every share matters. Please help make every step and every stroke count."
Souness has used major endurance events before, including several swims across the English Channel, and he says those efforts have raised millions of pounds. This one is framed as his hardest yet, and the scale of it fits the claim.
The date is set for September, the route is fixed, and the fundraising target is clear.
