As many know my brother SGT Gavin Hillier was fatally wounded on the 4th March 2021 in a Military training exercise at the Castlemartin RAC Range in Pembrokeshire. A day that broke the hearts of so many family and friends that loved him.

On the 19th September I will be taking on the 24 hour Welsh 3 peaks challenge. The challenge is made up of climbing three of the highest and most iconic mountains in Wales: Snowdon, Wales’ tallest peak and the highest point in Britain outside the Scottish highlands; Cader Idris, a spectacular peak at the southerly edge of Snowdonia National Park; and Pen y Fan, the highest peak in the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales within a 24 hour time period.

By taking on this challenge I am hoping to raise both money and awareness for Scotty’s Little Soldiers; a charity dedicated to supporting children & young people who have experienced the death of a parent who served in the British Armed Forces. Scotty’s Little Soldiers have soon become a charity close to my family’s heart and we gratefully appreciate the support they provide to not only Gavin’s two sons, but to the children of other soldiers who have lost their lives.

As a thank you to Scotty’s Soldiers I would love to raise £1000 before completing my challenge and I hope with your support we can make this possible for such worthy cause.
