A 'once-in-a-lifetime trek up Wales' highest mountain for Wirral children's charity Stick'n'Step is taking place during this year's Summer Solstice and Globe readers can take part.
Everyone taking part in the nine-mile trek up Mount Snowdon on June 21 will experience sunset and sunrise in one amazing night, enjoying the great outdoors together, while raising funds to help support children and young people with cerebral palsy.
The event begins at 9pm on Friday, June 21, continuing into the early hours of Saturday, June 22.
Stick ‘n’ Step has teamed up with experienced guides at RAW Adventures, who will provide support on the expedition to the 1,085 metres high summit.
To take part in this incredible event and help transform lives, all you need to do is register by May 30, at a cost of £25 and undertake to raise a minimum amount of £100 in sponsorship.
Stick 'n' Step's corporate fundraiser Jo Fowler, said: "Summer Solstice on Snowdon will be a once-in-a-lifetime occasion to challenge yourself, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature.
"We think this would be the perfect opportunity for any organisations looking for a special way to spend a Volunteer Day.
’Work colleagues will enjoy pushing their personal limits, boosting their resilience and team building together, while supporting a worthy cause."
Snowdon is 1,085 meters above sea level and has some steep and rocky sections and paths; it’s an exciting mountainous environment.
Those taking part in the trek are required to be reasonably fit and have time to plan in some longer walks – with your backpack on – before undertaking this challenge. For more information, contact the Stick & Step fundraising team at fundraising@sticknstep.org.
Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders that affects movement and co-ordination.
It is the most common motor disability in childhood, with one in 400 babies estimated to be born every year in the UK with some form of it.
Stick 'n' Step provides free weekly conductive education sessions to children and young people with cerebral palsy up to the age of 25, allowing them to gain the skills they need to live more independent lives.
The charity relies on supporters and volunteers to help raise the £750,000 required to deliver its services to more than 100 families each year at its Wallasey and Runcorn centres.
