Snow Camp is a life changing snowsports programme for young people. Working at indoor snow domes across the UK, young people learn how to ski or snowboard alongside life skills training, qualifications and mental health support.

Story

Following on from the incredible support we received doing Market Square to Mont Blanc last year, we've decided to up the ante and run to the Pyrenees!

Over the course of May, several DUSSCling's will attempt to run/ walk/ crawl the equivalent distance of Market Square (Durham) to the Pyrenees (Spain). The distance to be covered is 2000 miles (3220km) which will we split equally between all those taking part.

We'll be raising money for SnowCamp, a fantastic charity aiming to support inner-city young people through providing them with snow-related life-skills and mental health support in the UK’s most disadvantaged areas.

Our £2000 goal will fund 20 new underprivileged young people joining SnowCamp's 2022/23 programme, so with your help we have the potential to transform the lives of 20 kids.

This is their mission statement: "Our mission is to turn young lives around through delivering innovative services focusing on physical and mental health support."

If you'd like to find out more about the great work SnowCamp do, just visit their website at: https://www.snow-camp.org.uk/about-us/

We'll be tracking our progress on Strava and giving weekly updates via the DUSSC Facebook page - so feel free to follow our progress as we make our way across the continent!

Thank you so so much for your support !
