They will be doing it in aid of the charity Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF).
Eva said: "I have wanted to do the three peaks for some time, and saw the three peaks challenge advertised by Students Against Meningitis in aid of the MRF and thought it would be a fantastic opportunity to take part and raise some money for a good cause.

"I also climbed Snowdon in May 2019 with colleagues from Morrisons for CLIC Sargent.
"Meningitis is also a disease which disproportionately affects students so was a cause that I wanted to get involved in. It’s also one that is not as widely recognised as AIDS and malaria and affects around 5 million people each year around the world.
