On the 23rd of August 2024, devastating news struck the Parry family. Will, who had been suffering from persistent headaches suddenly collapsed. Thanks to the quick actions of the family’s local GP, it was suspected that he had a brain bleed, and he was immediately referred to Bronglais A&E for urgent scans.

The scans revealed heartbreaking news: Will had a large and aggressive brain tumour (glioblastoma). He was rushed to Cardiff Hospital, where he underwent emergency brain surgery. The operation lasted seven gruelling hours, with significant risks involved. Thankfully, Will came through the surgery and was soon awake, responsive, and even walking.

However, just weeks later, on the 17th of September, the family received another devastating update. Although 99% of the tumour had been removed, doctors informed them that Will’s life expectancy was just 12–18 months. Despite this prognosis, Will his wife Lianne and three children Tyler (12), Thia (10) and Harli (3) are determined to focus on creating lasting memories and fulfilling Will’s dreams while they can.

With that in mind, we are raising as much money as possible to give to Will and his family to create some memories they will never forget. If you can spare any money for this challenge, we would really appreciate it! This Charity was created to give people any type of support that is possible and this is hugely important for Will and his family. Love from Wales are ready to step up and face a challenge that may sound crazy but with everyone’s support we will get the job done and raise a large sum of money for Will and the family.

The Challenge

A team of 35 volunteers are looking to complete “15 Peaks for Parry”. Over 2 days in early April we are looking to summit 15 Peaks in Snowdonia within 48 hours. This event has been carefully mapped out with experienced Mountain Leaders and medical support leaders who have many years’ experience with these types of events.

This event will be extremely tough due to the rocky paths, Steep inclines, declines and climbing the infamous Crib Goch ridge on Snowdon! This challenge is often underestimated and is usually carried out over a week. We are going to complete this in 2 days and will look to pitch up our tents at local Campsites over the weekend event.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. We hope you can support us with this challenge by donating, sending us encouragement and sharing this with as many people as you can to get our message and challenge out to the world!
