For Help for Heroes we are going to walk to the summit of Snowdon and back on Saturday 18th July 2009. To make it a little more interesting we are going to be walking up 80's style!

Snowdon, is the highest mountain in Wales and is Britain's highest mountain south of the Scottish Highlands. It has been described as "probably the busiest mountain in Britain." It is located in Snowdonia National Park, in Gwynedd. The summit is known as Yr Wyddfa (Welsh for "the tumulus") and lies at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level. In terms of 'absolute height' it is the same height as Table Mountain in South Africa.

Now a bit of background about the charity just in case you havent heard of them. Help for Heroes (H4H) is a British charity launched in September 2007 to help provide better facilities for wounded British servicemen and women. It was founded by Bryn Parry, a cartoonist and former member of The Royal Green Jackets, after he visited soldiers at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham. The charity was launched after a meeting with General Sir Francis Richard Dannatt KCB CBE MC, the Chief of the General Staff, the professional head of the British Army. H4H has attracted a number of high profile trustees and patrons and has the support of the Army Benevolent Fund and the Ministry of Defence. It has also attracted support from national newspapers in the UK, such as The Sun and The Sunday Times.

Most people know at least someone connected to the Forces whether currently serving or not, so please give generously and help our Heroes returning home wounded.
