Our story
On the 8th June, we will be attempting to climb all 15 peaks in Wales over 3000ft in under 24 hours to raise money for Young Lives vs Cancer.
Two years ago, we completed the trek in two days, now we will be attempting to finish it in one go.
Young Lives vs Cancer offers vital support to young people with cancer and their families. This includes providing specialist social workers, free accommodation near specialist hospitals and financial support during treatment. Please take a look at their website for more details: younglivesvscancer.org.uk.
The challenge will involve:
54km of difficult terrain
4100m ascent
15 peaks above 3000ft
Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), the highest peak in England and Wales
Technical scrambles including Crib Goch and Tryfan
3 mountain ranges across the Snowdonia National Park
Any donation, no matter the size, would mean a lot to us and will help support young people and families facing cancer. Thank you for your support.
