I am climbing Mount Snowdon on September 11th at 2.30 a.m to support my lovely friend Britt, her husband Adrian and their amazing, courageous daughter Zoe. They have received a huge amount of support from Shooting Star over the last 13 years.  It really has made all the difference to the quality of their lives and without Shooting Star to offer care, love and guidance, it would have been so much harder.

Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa in Welsh) is the highest mountain in Wales and England. Standing tall over the village of Llanberis, Snowdon is a part of a close-knit family of jagged peaks and can offer views of Snowdonia, Anglesey, Pembrokeshire and Ireland. This overnight challenge starts at 2am as participants gather at the foot of Snowdon ready to climb to the 1,085m summit in total darkness. Traversing the tricky terrain with just the light of a head touch climbers will arrive at the summit just as the sunrises across the dramatic backdrop of Snowdonia National Park. The descent will see the start of a new day for the tired walks and they will enjoy a well deserved breakfast when the return to base.
