On the 2nd/3rd of September (date provisional and subject to change depending on weather) I plan to take on a challenge which has been a goal of mine for a few years now, known as 'The Welsh 3000's'. The challenge involves reaching the summit of the 15 highest peaks in Snowdonia โฐ, all of which are 3000ft or more above sea level, and my aim is to complete this in 24hrs or less.
I am taking on this challenge along side my partner Simon, who has been a fab and supportive training partner ๐ช๐ฝand has got some serious patience dealing with all my moaning ๐ With months of training on the mountains, at Live Life Light Gym ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ and some intense ๐ฅต but fun ๐คช PT sessions with Richard Roberts, we feel we are almost ready to brave what is going to be.......one hell of a walk ๐๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
We have both agreed that as this will be a pretty testing but exciting challenge for us to undertake and complete ๐ค๐ฝ we will use the opportunity to hopefully raise funds for our chosen charities ๐๐ฝ.
The charity I have chosen is SANDS. I have chosen this charity as it is one that is close to my heart on a personal and professional level โค๐ฉ๐ฝโโ๏ธ. I will be completing the challenge in memory of my son Dylan and nephew Cody ๐๐ถ๐๐ฃ, in memory of baby Jay Joshua Griffith, the first angel baby I personally delivered into the world and who's beautiful parents have now become friends ๐๐๐, for all the parents and families I have supported through difficult times and for all my colleagues who have also been 'that rock' for parents and families during their time of need.
SANDS is a fantastic Charity that offers support to us all as parents, families and health care workers who have experienced stillbirth or neonatal loss. Any donation big or small would make a massive, wonderful difference and would be received with the greatest of gratitude ๐๐ฝ
