mountains.<\/p>\n<p>Four friends from Buntingford in Hertfordshire will take on the Welsh 3000s challenge, which involves covering 30 miles over mountains within the Snowdonia National Park, reports the Hertfordshire Mercury.<\/p>\n<p>It lasts for 24 hours and their task is to scale the peaks of 15 mountains, each of which is more than 3,000 ft.<\/p>\n<p>Sion Simpson, 26, is one of those taking part and he said: &quot;Sadly one of my friends committed suicide after leaving the army, so both of the charities which help soldiers are close to my heart.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The initial target set by the group was to raise &pound;2,000, but they are now set to exceed that total comfortably.<\/p>\n<p>All of the four men involved in the challenge have a personal link to the military, having either
