This September, SUDC UK will host a very special event where bereaved mothers will come together as one and take on the challenge of climbing Mount Snowdon. We thank Kate Walsh for suggesting this climb and hope the event will be uniting, uplifting and memorable. Kate shares her inspiration for the event below:

"When our youngest son Patrick was 4 we went on a family holiday to Snowdon. We stayed in a cottage with my parents, my brother and sister-in-law and niece Isla. We all had a great time and one of the highlights was going up Snowdon on the train, we felt like we had climbed a mountain but with none of the effort.

Ever since that trip I have wanted to go back and climb that mountain!

Now that Patrick is no longer with us the chance to do it as a complete family has passed but I still really want to do it.

Thinking about it at the start of the New Year I realised that being a bereaved parent is like climbing a mountain every day and that the people I would really like to climb the mountain with are other bereaved SUDC Mums. What a powerful message to the world to say look what we are capable of even though we grieve our children who are no longer physically with us.

I would love to see as many SUDC mums as possible climb the mountain with me, show the world what we are capable of for our children and raise awareness of and valuable funds for SUDC UK."
