On 10th November 2019, my best friend Tom passed away at the age of 27 after battling the lung condition Bronchiectasis for many years. He contracted this illness due to the effects of having treatment for cancer as a child. This debilitating lung condition affected all aspects of his life, however there is little research into it and no cure.

Despite this, Tom lived as full a life as possible. During our 15 years of friendship, we shared so many funny and special times. He was more my brother than my friend, having the role of best man at my wedding and godfather to my children.

Climbing Mount Snowdon in his memory is made more personal by the fact Tom was half Welsh. Joining me on this climb is Tom's fiancee Jess, his sister Sian and also our friend David.

Any donations at all are so appreciated to help us towards our goal in raising money and awareness of Tom's condition.
