YFM team scales Snowdon for charity

Congratulations to our intrepid team who braved the wilds of Wales to complete the 945m ascent of Snowdon last month.

At 1,085m, Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales, but 18 of our determined colleagues donned their hiking boots to take on the challenge, raising over £14,000 in total for their chosen charities along the way.

The team and their nominated charities were: Julie Simpson (Alzheimer’s Research UK); Jonathan Marlow (Ataxia.org.uk); Stephen Murray (Cats Protection Birmingham); Nick Holt (Cleft.org.uk); Roux Brits (Cool Earth); Aaron Lowery (Crohns and Colitis UK); Paul Cannings (Mechanics for Africa); Steve Harrison (NSPCC); Jen Townsend (Trussell Trust); Charlie Winward (Macmillan Cancer Support); Gavin Chadwick (Ella Dawson Foundation); David Gee (Leeds Mind); David Hall (MND Association); and Ben Pitt, David Wrench, Helen Villiers, Jamie Roberts and Zach Francis (upReach).

Well done to everyone involved – no doubt there will be more fund-raising challenges to come!
