We are doing the Welsh Three Peaks challenge on Saturday June 14th.

Since 2006, Glan Clwyd hospital has had a link with a 200 bed hospital in Ethiopia, in a dusty town called Hossana. The staff there do a great job in very difficult circumstances, and on a shoe-string budget. Currently they need a new industrial size washing machine for the hospital, and also want to build a latrine block for the out-patients area. There are around 300 outpatients each day, each usually accompanied by one or two others. So that is quite a big demand for facilities....!

Last year, Glan Clwyd hospital staff and local well-wishers funded a new latrine block for the inpatients and their relatives. Simple, sustainable and crucially important.

So we decided to set a day aside for a fund-raising walk up Snowdon, Cadair Idris in Mid-Wales, and finishing (ourselves?) off with Pen Y Fan in South Wales. And then have a beer or two in Merthyr Tydfil.
