15 Peaks in 24 Hours: Taking on the Welsh 3000s for Max & PMSF UK

​Our Story

​Last year, our lives changed when our son, Max, was diagnosed with Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS)—a rare genetic condition that affects development, speech, mobility, and overall health. Navigating a rare diagnosis is tough, but finding the Phelan-McDermid Syndrome Foundation UK (PMSF UK) gave our family hope, resources, and a community when we needed it most.

​Now, we want to give back to ensure they can keep supporting Max and families like ours.

​The Challenge: Welsh 3000s

​On September 5th, 2026, myself and 11 close friends are taking on the Welsh 3000s Challenge.

​This isn't a casual hike. To complete it, we must:

​Hike all 15 mountains in Wales over 3,000 feet high.

​Cover over 30 miles (48 km) of rugged terrain.

​Complete the entire journey within 24 hours without using any form of transport between peaks.

​It’s going to be brutal, exhausting, and grueling—but every step will be worth it to raise awareness and support for Max and the entire PMS community.

​Where Your Donation Goes

​Every single pound raised will go directly to PMSF UK to help them:

​Provide vital support and resources for families facing a new diagnosis.

​Fund research into better treatments and care for Phelan-McDermid Syndrome.

​Raise awareness so that children like Max get the understanding and support they deserve.

​How You Can Help

​Donate: Any amount, big or small, directly impacts families living with PMS.

​Share: Please share this page with your friends, family, and social networks to help us spread the word for Max!

​Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and donations. Wish us luck on September 5th!
