It’s time for another BBF charity event. Over the years we have done many charity days and challenges, some that you’ll never forget (power squat challenge 😅)!

We only ever put these events on when the charity holds a special place in our hearts. We understand money is tight for most of us and we are conscious of asking people to donate, but we have never been left anything short of overwhelmed when is comes to these events because the support has been incredible.

This year the only charity we could ever choose was Autism early support. Since Ralph was 12 months old our family began the climb, navigating the the very unknown journey of autism. Before Ralph joined the Circle centre we as a family felt like we were parenting in a room that had no light switch, and when we met the team and got Ralphie a place at the nursery, all the lights came on! We felt supported, understood and more importantly than anything at all our Ralph had a safe space, he was supported and he is thriving! This charity gave our family the ability to enjoy the journey rather than fear it, and we are so grateful!

In honour of our gorgeous boy and to thank this amazing charity Jonathan will be attempting to summit Mount Snowdon 6 times in 48 hours. On each of the climbs we have invited our amazing friends, family and clients to join us and on the very last climb we hope to be joined by Ralph’s incredible big sister. She will be walking with us and if all goes to plan we hope to have Ralphie meeting us at the final summit.

If you can donate absolutely anything then we would be so grateful. If this charity can help another family like ours then that’s all we can hope for 🧩♾️
