We’re here for you… because you’re here for us
Donna and her sister, Shara, took part in the Snowdon by Night challenge in June 2022 to thank St Giles for the care given to their mum, Joan, at the end of her life. The popular summit trek helped Donna and Shara raise an incredible £620 for St Giles.
Donna said: “The Snowdon by Night challenge was amazing – the three guides who looked after us were so helpful. Physically it was quite hard, but so rewarding once we reached the summit.
“All of the team were excellent when caring for mum – their support allowed us to spend some quality time with mum in her final days. The care they provided took the pressure off the family – we knew she was being so well looked after at St Giles.
“If you’re thinking of taking on the challenge this year, I’d say just do it! We did some long walks for our training, and I think the key thing is to not overthink the challenge that you’ve set yourself.”
