After a car crash nearly killed her 20 years ago, the dotcom entrepreneur is climbing three peaks to make £300,000 for charity
Even to the able-bodied, climbing Britain’s three highest peaks might seem like a test of resolve. But Martha Lane Fox has had 47 operations, struggles with her balance, nerve damage and constant pain, and needs two sticks to walk anywhere – the legacy of a car crash 20 years ago that nearly killed her.
On Saturday she completed the first leg of “Martha’s Mountain Mission” by reaching the summit of Snowdon, or Yr Wyddfa. England’s highest peak, Scafell Pike, comes next, on 6 May, and she will be tackling Ben Nevis on 7 September.
