Story

Dear Sponsors and Supporters of the Foglietta Big Snow Challenge!

As many of you will know, your Foglietta Big Snow Challenge Team of Nick, Carole, Neil and Yoann completed three consecutive ascents and descents of the Foglietta Mountain on Friday March 2nd alternating between skis, telemarks and snowboard in a total time of 10.25 minutes. This is the holy grail of Sainte Foy skiing challenges and we would not have been up to the job had we not been motivated by the plight of countless children in the third world needing surgery to correct the disfigurement and torment caused by cleft. With my family's matching donation and gift aid, I am very pleased to say that the total proceeds from the Challenge have reached so far £31.152 which will allow for an estimated 187 new surgeries to be performed. And donations are still coming in. To all those wonderful people who have donated so far, our heartfelt thanks for your wonderful support! Finally, check out Neil's video diary of the event by clicking on the film on this page to get a flavour of how the event went down! Warmest regards to you all. Nick Walker
