Join the amazing Andy, Richard, Debbie, Ben and Alex, above, and experience the beautiful scenery and moonlit mountains of Wales on this mentally and physically challenging trek running Saturday 26th – Sunday 27th August.
Beginning in the town of Llanberis, in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, the team will trek to the top of Snowdon….at night!
All funds raised will go towards running Parity’s vital services for people with multiple disabilities.
Here’s why Debbie signed up:
In a moment of madness (no alcohol involved!) I put my name forward for the Snowdon Challenge! I try to put myself out of my comfort zone and raise money every year for Parity for Disability. I want to support people with multiple disabilities to do all the things with their day that everyone else chooses to do, and Parity’s services help make this possible.
This one however is a little different from the other crazy things I have signed up for. Climbing Mount Snowdon at night in the dark sounded fantastic when I put my name down – I soon realised that actually this could change my whole life.
How did I think that I could possibly complete this – I am 53 years old, 3 stone overweight and can’t exercise for more than 20 minutes without needing an oxygen mask!!!! However, the show must go on.
I could not exercise anymore as my lung capacity was affected by smoking 20 cigarettes a day – so could not lose weight – everything will need to change – so not only am I doing this for Parity but mainly for myself!!
I have now given up smoking and am cutting down on calories – I hope to lose 2 stone and be completely off the nicotine to enable me to run up that mountain in August – let this crazy life-changing journey begin!!!!!!
