Story


For a man whose life was one of spoken and written words his response would have been “Good on yer kidder....... go for it”! Followed by a chuckle and a lengthy banter and discussion of what, why, when? As his youngest daughter embarked on another of her adventures.

This one is for you Dad xxxxx

Mark and I have signed up to do the Snowdonia for Science Long Distance, this is an eighteen mile trek through Snowdonia in aid of the Prostate Cancer Research Centre, many of you will have seen pictures our little outings just lately this is our training for the event, we will keep you posted on all our adventures to achieve this goal. Please give as much as you can all donations large or small are welcome to aid this brilliant cause. Xx

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. 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.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.
