The #PrincessofWales competed in the #ThreePeaksChallenge-climbing the 3 highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales-Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowden. It’s generally done within 24 hours. The Princess competed for charity, secretly raising funds for Royal Marsden Cancer Center where she received her own treatment for the disease.
I’m sorry, but that is BADASS. To fight cancer, complete treatment and come back to climb the 3 highest peaks in the U.K. is incredible.
She completed the hiking legs solo, carrying her own gear. After hiking 23 miles (37 km) and a total elevation gain of 10,052 feet (3,064 meters) she was met at the finish line by her husband and 3 children. That’s amazing-she must feel so accomplished and strong. So proud of her. #PrinceofPrincessofWales #PrincessCatherine
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in this country hear the words no one wants to hear. What follows is a path that tests every part of who we are: physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. The challenges ripple outwards, touching families, friendships, work and the quiet moments we spend alone with our thoughts.
Cancer doesn��t just affect the body. It changes how you think and feel and profoundly affects every aspect of life. I know this personally, and that the journey through and beyond treatment requires more than medicine alone.
I have taken on the National Three Peaks Challenge, not simply as a physical endeavour but as a chance to explore life beyond diagnosis and to give something back. The Royal Marsden is a place that holds great meaning for me and whose care and expertise are life changing for so many people.
Through this challenge, I want to raise awareness for the deeper impact of serious illness and the importance of holistic healthcare. Every individual is different, and ensuring there is a whole person approach to care enables those living through cancer to manage the deeply personal challenge of diagnosis. Holistic therapies complement clinical pathways and support patients’ ability to maintain their wellbeing, resilience and quality of life during an exceptionally difficult time.
We have an opportunity to reshape what the future of holistic cancer care looks like, enabling more people, nationwide, to access the kind of personalised support that can help make a meaningful difference during and after medical treatment.
This challenge will support the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, helping to transform access to, and understanding of, holistic care that will enhance recovery and healing for patients across the UK.
Healing, whether personal or collective, is not just about fixing what is wrong. It is about finding balance in how we live. Between effort and acceptance, between control and trust, between thinking and simply being. Because in the end, bravery isn’t just about pushing forward. It is about knowing how to stay grounded, connected and present, no matter the terrain, or landscape you are walking through.
Together, we can stand alongside everyone navigating life with cancer, ensuring no one faces this disease feeling unseen or unsupported.
Please know you are not alone.

Tom Hanks shares a great backstory on voicing the original Toy Story in 1995.
Says it only happened because Robin Williams smashed it with Aladdin a few years prior. Hollywood realized a big star could sell an animated film (give something for parents).
So, Hanks and Allen tried to do the same improv style. They made 80% of a film but just weren’t on Williams level (Hanks says Williams was the Picasso of Improv).
Pixar threw it all out and then Hanks, Allen’s and everyone else worked off a script.
