The Back-Up Trust - The Snowdon Push · 3 July 2009 ·

Back Up services include mentoring, wheelchair skills training and activity courses as well as support in getting back to work or school after an injury. We provide peer led tailored support to help people adjust to a spinal cord injury and inspire independence and confidence for a positive future.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. On the 4th of July 2009 Mandy and I will be part of a team and joining other teams to compete in the ultimate challenge - The Back-Up Trust Snowdon Push 2009! Snowdon is over 3500 ft high. It is the highest mountain in Wales.

It is a hard enough challenge to walk it under normal circumstances, however we are going one step further. Each team has a wheelchair user. In our team that's me!! We have to get to the top of Snowdon and back down again by any means we can!!

For more info see http://www.backuptrust.org.uk/thepush.html  

After going on my first Back Up course in 2002, two years post injury, it made a huge difference to my life! I learnt new skills that made me more independent and improved my self confidence and motivation.

Please support this challenge and give generously to this worthy cause. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Back-Up Trust gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. So please sponsor us now!
