Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) Challenge

One of our Trustees, Louise, is going to be very busy this Saturday, read on to find out why!

"On 7th June, Louise and Meg are taking on the Snowdon Six; summiting Snowdon 3 times in one day, via all six official routes. The route is 25 miles with 9000ft of elevation gain and we plan to set off before sunrise and hopefully finish before sunset, in time for a celebratory pint.

We're raising money for Penguins Against Cancer (PAC), specifically to help fund the annual Ruth Prosser Women’s Cancer Research Award.

In addition to grants for charities that support those living with cancer, PAC directly funds multiple research grants. There are currently grants available in the fields of paediatric brain tumours, urological cancer, women's cancer (with a focus on breast, ovarian and cervical), and pancreatic cancer. We're raising money to ensure these vital funds can continue to be distributed to individuals working towards beating cancer."

As ever, every penny counts, if you can make a donation please use the Donate page here on the website, or via the GoFundMe page.
