Team Climb Every Mountian
On Fri 29th May Sam, Angela and Emma …. AKA team Climb Every Mountain ! will set off from Llanberis to conquer the mighty Snowdon; a mere 9 miles and 6 ish ( depending how often Sam has to stop ! ) hrs of climbing and walking.
As parents, professionals and a little sister, ASD is something very close to the teams hearts and Snowdon itself has significance for all.
This will be both physically and emotionally challenging, not least because it represents the mountains our families climb everyday.
Please show your support for the team and the families of Empathy by donating to Team Climb Every Mountain
