Story

Thank you for taking time to my Just Giving page.

I planned go back to China to visit my mum in April 2020, but then Covid-19 started and left me depressed. I haven’t seen my mum for three years at that moment (Five years by NOW)! Luckily, I learnt about UKCWC and joined them. During this depressing time of pandemic, I met lots of positive women, we shared ideas, inspired and helped one another. Since UKCWC was founded, it organized more than 100 events, such as online talks, hate crime training, help with employment, mentoring program, outdoor hiking, etc.

This new and young charity is full of positive energy. I would like to fundraising for them, and support them to continue their vision.

The Challenge
In June I am planning to conquer the top of the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in just 24 hours. This challenge is considered one of Britain’s toughest outdoor challenges.

The Three Peaks are: Ben Nevis - Scotland: 1344 metres Scafell Pike - England: 978 metres Snowdon - Wales: 1085 metres. The distance walked is around 26 miles (42km), the height climbed is around 9,843feet (3,000m).

Itinerary
Day 1 - Friday
Arrive Fort William
Check-in to accommodation

Day 2 - Saturday
Depart for Ben Nevis at 7am
Around 5½ hours round trip for Ben Nevis
Transfer to Lake District
Evening ascent of Scafell Pike for a 4½ hour round trip

Day 3 - Sunday
Night time transfer to Snowdon
Early morning ascent to Snowdon with a 4 hour round trip

The Charity
UKCWC is a charity based in the UK. UKCWC is a charity that aims to connect, bring women in the Chinese community together to reduce the sense of isolation and loneliness, as well as to achieve racial harmony.

Recently, UKCWC has been shortlisted for Charity of the Year Award for their efforts towards furthering equality, diversity, and inclusion by British Diversity Awards.

Money raised will be used for helping vulnerable Chinese women in the UK, in particular, delivering language, culture, and business skills training to full-time mothers and new Chinese women immigrants, enabling them to return back to work and be better integrated into the UK society. Every pound raised will help UKCWC achieve their vision.
