Welcome to the Snowdonia for Science 2021 fundraising page!

The idea of finding people to climb Snowdon to raise funds for prostate cancer research was dreamed up over 10 years ago by prostate cancer sufferer Matt Rannamets. He decided he wanted to give something back to the doctors and researchers who worked so tirelessly to put an end to prostate cancer, and helped to prolong his prognosis.

And so, the Snowdon 500 event was born and now takes place every May to raise vital funds for prostate cancer research into life-threatening disease. Sadly, prostate cancer took Matts life in 2016, but his legacy lives on through this inspiring event. His idea proved successful, having raised over £1 million pounds for the Prostate Cancer Research Centre.

This event is brought to you by the Prostate Cancer Research Centre. Last year 57,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer. They are someones grandfather, father, brother, or son. Whilst prostate cancer is treatable in the prostate, once is spreads to other parts of the body, it becomes incurable and life-threatening.

Our aim is simple: to fund the ground-breaking research that will stop lives being needlessly lost to advanced disease. All funds raised at Snowdonia for Science will go back into research, helping scientists to test the innovative treatments that give hope to men with advanced disease. By walking and climbing for #TeamPCRC you are giving these men and their families a better future.
