Tom Hill Memorial Mountain Climb - to prevent CO deaths.
Donation protected
Tom Hill was one of a kind, and he loved the outdoors and nature. Sadly he died of Carbon Monoxide poisoning 9 years ago, he was just 18. Tom had just started at Stirling University where he was studying Aquaculture. He was on holiday in Scotland. Tom's death was preventable. We want to do something positive both to remember Tom, and to help prevent tragedies like this happening to anybody else.
A group of Tom's family and friends are climbing a mountain called Tryfan in N Wales on the 4th May 2025 to raise money for CO-Gas Safety-The Carbon Monoxide and Gas Safety Society. On the same day other family members who cant come will be having other mountain adventures:-
- Tom's cousin Jess Hold will be climbing Le Dôle in Switzerland. Le Dôle is a 1,677m major focus point in the natural heritage of the Jura, as it is visible from the whole western part of Lake Geneva region.
- Tom's cousin Matt Spenceley will be on a steep-skiing trip in East Greenland.
- Tom's college friend Macauley Chapman lives in Australia. He'll be climbing Cradle Mountain on the same day!!!
CO-Gas Safety-The Carbon Monoxide and Gas Safety Society https://www.co-gassafety.co.uk/ . CO-Gas Safety is an independent registered charity that works hard to raise awareness of carbon monoxide (CO) and to reduce deaths and injuries from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning. The charity lobbies for changes, which will help to achieve this, and also help and advise victims/survivors and families affected whenever we can. This charity runs almost entirely on volunteers and relies on donations. After Tom's accident the investigation was very slow. We contacted CO-Gas Safety and they gave us help and advice that really speeded things up. We just hope that donating money will help prevent further incidents.
We believe that if things had been done differently Tom would still be alive. We will be donating all money raised to a charity that works to make gas safety more of a priority.
