In May, I will be part of a team from my running club (Leigh-On-Sea Striders) taking on a charity trek to raise vital funds for the fantastic Havens Hospices. Every penny donated on here will help fund the amazing care they provide in our local community.

The trek will follow a circular route taking in sections of the classic Welsh 3000s route, Devil's Kitchen, Pen-y-Pass and Snowdonia Slate Trail - covering 27 miles of challenging walking and involving over 10,000ft of ascent (3071m). Over the 3 days, the team will summit 5 peaks above 3000ft finishing with Wales's highest mountain, Snowdon (1085m).

Thank you in advance for any donations made no matter how big or small x
