Event: Snowdon Climb for Cavernoma, on 3 June 2023
June 2023 is Cavernoma Awareness Month and this year we're doing something particularly special. We're climbing Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales to help raise awareness about cavernoma and to raise funds for Cavernoma Awareness Alliance UK.

Story

Team Bumpkin are back! And this time we are putting on our walking shoes.

On Saturday 3rd June Rich, Mark, Brian & Liam along with trusted companion Rufus will be conquering Snowdon raising funds for Cavernoma Alliance.

In April 2022, Rich's wife Joanne was diagnosed with a brain stem cavernoma whilst pregnant with their first child. The research and support that Cavernoma Alliance provide is invaluable to those suffering from Cavernoma's and also their family members.

June 2023 is Cavernoma Awareness Month and we are proud to be joining the official Cavernoma Alliance climb of Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, to help raise both awareness of cavernomas but also funds for Cavernoma Alliance.  Cavernoma's is a common but often unheard of condition caused by a cluster of abnormal blood vessels in the brain or spine. Cavernoma Alliance UK supports people affected by cavernoma. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for those affected through education, support and research. To find out more visit www.cavernoma.org.uk.

IMPORTANT - Due to inclement weather, this organised climb maybe cancelled at short notice. If this is the case, the rearranged planned date is the following Saturday (10th June). Sadly, we are unable to commit to the second date, so please be aware of this when making your donation.
