SNOWDON WALK 13TH MAY 2023.

Story

Each year we attempt snowdon to help raise much needed funds for The Owen McVeigh Foundation, to help us continue to create life memories for children living with cancer in the Merseyside Area.All this is done in Owens name, with as much positivity as we can muster on the day.

As many of you know back in October 2020 Alfie was diagnosed with stage 3 Nasopharyngeal cancer. News which devastated our family. Over the next year rounds of intense chemo, Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy followed and thankfully he was later given the all clear. 


During this time we was contacted by the Owen Mcveigh foundation. 


This Foundation has been set up in memory of Owen McVeigh who was only 11 years old when he passed away after a short diagnosis with leukaemia, The purpose of the charity is to raise funds to help and enrich the lives of children who are ill with cancer and their Families in the local area. The Owen McVeigh Foundation is a registered charity, number 1167794 


The support they offered me, Alfie & the boys was amazing and really boosted his morale during the darkest of times. Trips to peacock lodge, football games, memorabilia, Christmas parties & always an understanding ear to listen. Even now, they are still in contact always offering support. 


On May 13th Alfie will climb Snowdon with the foundation to raise much needed funds for this amazing charity to allow them to continue to support other families around the North west. 


This we be proven more difficult for Alfie due to a condition Alfie has recently been diagnosed with affecting his knee.


If anyone would like to sponsor Alfie, no matter how small we would be so grateful. You really don’t appreciate the work these people do and the smiles they bring to the kids faces until your in the unfortunate position to need it ❤️
