On Saturday the 17th of September we will be climbing Snowdon* in support of Age Cymru who are one of Ogi's charity partners for 2022.
Age Cymru is the national charity for older people in Wales.
More than ever before, older people are facing some of the hardest challenges imaginable. Some live in poverty or can’t get the basic care they need to live with dignity. Sadly, older people often have to face these issues with no-one to help or support them – loneliness is a daily struggle when you only have the TV or radio to keep you company.
That’s why Age Cymru is here. Their vision is an age friendly Wales where older people will enjoy good health, live safely, be free from discrimination and be active in their communities. Their mission is to make life better for older people.
Please help us to help them by supporting this fundraising event.
*Note: Originally we'd intended to do the Triple Challenge which included a cycle ride and kayak. The logistics for this require a lot of organisation and infrastructure from a 3rd party and the cost of doing that would have been deducted from the money we raised. We've decided that we'd rather all of the money went to Age Cymru. Also one challenge at a time is probably more sensible after two years of sofa surfing during lockdown!
