Climbing Mount Snowdon and Penrhyn Quarry Zip Wire

You Raise Me Up was founded by the Brooks family in June 2011 following the sudden, tragic loss of daughter, Megan aged just 17. The charity's purpose is to raise funds to help families that have suffered the loss of a child between the ages of 16 & 25, offering mental health & emotional support.

Story

Next week I will be climbing Mount Snowdon and zooming down on the fastest zip wire in the world 🤣 all in memory of Our Sam 💙

In 2016 Sam did both of these challenges and I want to recreate the moment!

I’m absolutely terrified of heights this is a really big deal for me but think it is always good to challenge yourself. If you are prepared to face your fears it can inspire others as well.

I am excited and really nervous, but I know the feeling afterwards will be amazing.

I will be fundraising for You Raise Me Up

a charity that lies very close to our heart and I can't thank them enough for being an amazing support to us, if it wasn't for 'You Raise Me Up' we certainly wouldn't be where we are now 💕

You Raise Me Up supports families after the death of a child aged 16-25.

The charity provides compassion, support and simply to be able to say “we totally understand” rather than “we cannot imagine what you are going through”.

We have trained, experienced counsellors available to help families through these dark times. We also run monthly support groups, where you can meet other families going through similar emotions and start to feel less alone. Our support centre and community cafe in Polegate is comfortable welcoming space for all.
