Jodie's Snowdon climb 2012

Jodie and Pete Tilbury-Fowler is raising money for Y Care International

“Jodie Tilbury-Fowler's fundraising”

Story

We did it! 26 of us climbed Snowdon on Saturday 30th June 2012. Pete and I got up early and started our walk at 7am. We headed up the Pgy route, and returned on the Miners route. The weather was horrific: heavy rain and frightenly fast winds. Half of the group went down on the train after winds reached almost 40mph, but Pete and I decided to brave the elements and make our way back down. It was an incredible and challenging experience.

Thank you everyone for your donations...

On Saturday 30th June 2012 I will be climbing Snowdon with a group of friends, family and colleagues - all raising money for various charities. I will be raising money for Y Care International.

We've all been doing various activities to prepare for our Snowdon walk...

Events coming up:
Only one more event before Snowdon which is a novice triathlon on 10th June in Corby

On Saturday 19th May I completed the Race for Life in Milton Keynes

I completed my first 10k at Stanwick on 9th April 2012

I completed the 5k races at Irchester Park on 15th January and 26th February.

I started triathlon swim training!

I completed the Reindeer 5k run at Woburn Abbey on Sunday 27th November in aid of RNLI.

I joined a running club!

I completed a 5k Run at Northampton Sunday 2nd October in the ridiculously hot autumn weather.

We had great fun doing our BOOTCAMP training on 20th September which involved lots of running, squats, sit ups, pushups and climbing over obstacles in the mud and rain. We looking forward to more of it soon...

The team have also now planned various long walks before Christmas to help warm up those walking boots, including: Stanwick Lakes, Irchester Country Park, Pitsford and Dunstable Downs.

Y Care International works in partnership with YMCAs to support projects in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean, that empower young people and their communities to find alternatives to a future of poverty and disadvantage.

In March 2011 I was fortunate enough to be able to go to visit some of the projects Y Care International support in East Jerusalem and the occupied territories of Palestine.

Among the projects visited were the East Jerusalem YMCA in Jericho, which provides vocational training for young people to support them find work, to enable their families and communities get out of poverty; establishing water supplies for beduoin communities; rehabilitation programmes for those affected by the political unrest; and the Olive Tree Campaign with the Joint Advocacy Initiative.
