The Snowdon Charity Challenge
Fundraising for Breast Cancer Now
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 11th May 2013 i will be taking on the challenge of climbing mount snowdon in North Wales, I will be walking between 7-10 miles (up&down) the mountain reaching the summit at 3,560 ft above sea level.
This is a big challnge for me but my motivation comes because I personally have been closely linked with Breast Cancer, I myself have never had the misfortune to be diagnosed with this awful illness but some of my very close loved ones have been affected by it, including some very dear friends and family.
I realise that not many people have money to give just after christmas and in the long term while we are living in this recession but if you could all just find a couple of pounds each to support me in my climb to the top, honestly every penny counts no matter how big or small, and as a gesture of your kindness and support if you would like me to walk in memory of a loved one i will be happy to have their name written on the back of my t-shirt along with others.
(when you donate please add the name you would like me to walk for in brackets)

Could pay for one person’s blood to be processed as part of the Breakthrough Generations Study – the world’s largest, most comprehensive study into the causes of breast cancer. We’re following 100,000 women in the UK for 40 years to help us find crucial information about the causes of breast cancer.

£65
Could pay for enough specialist chemicals to enable a scientist to carry out their experiments for one day.

Could buy antibodies used by many of our scientists. These determine whether certain proteins are involved in the development and progression of breast cancer, helping to identify potential drug targets.
£500
Could pay for a transilluminator, an essential piece of equipment for scientists to study DNA during experiments
