SANDS’ SNOWDEN NIGHT HIKE CHALLENGE - 21st May

Dan Holder and Kev Teasdale have signed up to complete a charity Snowden Night Climb, on 21st May, for SANDS (the leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity in the UK).

 

Speaking from personal experience, anyone who has suffered any level of baby loss will understand the  devastating traumas that come with such tragedy and so it's an honour for us to be completing this challenge, for an important cause.

Anyone who has ascended Snowden will know how tough this is in the day, but it's going to be an even harder challenge in the pitch black of night. This organised event sees a midnight start time; hiking through the night, with an aim to summit at sunrise, before another couple of hours descent.

The purpose of this is to raise vital funds for the essential work undertaken by SANDS in supporting those affected by baby loss, as well as in their research to help prevent baby loss.

Personally, Dan is doing this in remembrance of his own angel baby. But also, we are doing this in honour of all past, present and future angel babies.

 

It will be such a challenge - the darkness, the duration, the ascent, the dropping temps, overcoming physical restrictions from own disability and arthritic knees and consequent pain - but it will also be an honour.

 

Any contribution, no matter how small, will be gratefully received.

Every penny raised goes to SANDS via this event.

We will be completing several other difficult mountain hikes over the next several weeks in preparation for the main event.

 

Thank you for your support.

 

Dan & Kev
