Henry Calvert, local content creator and influencer, is taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge this weekend (27th September) in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support after losing his Grandfather earlier this year.
Henry, who grew up near Thirsk, along with a group of like-minded 'pop-culture' content creators, will be making their way to Yorkshire this weekend to take on the 24 mile trek!
Along the way, they will tackle Pen-y-ghent (694m), Ingleborough (723m), and Whernside (736m), the highest of the three.
The charity is close to Henry's heart, following this loss of his Grandfather, Thomas Webster, to cancer. He commented:
"Unfortunately we lost my Grandad to cancer earlier this year. He was the geekiest guy I knew, always telling me about how great Dune and Star Trek were. He's probably the main reason I ended up falling in love pop culture and subsequently fell into content creation. So with this fundraiser I wanted to bring together the community I found through this passion of pop culture, in his memory, to support a charity that supported him at his lowest."
Henry first gained attention for his comedy videos on TikTok, notably dancing to Phil Collins as part of his 'getting ready' routine.

He now regularly works with huge names such as Marvel, Disney and BAFTA to name a few.
Macmillan offered support to Webster throughout his cancer treatment and end of life care, as they do with many families across the area.
