Adventurers wanted for Snowdon Challenge

2 July 2012

Budding adventurers from across Wales are invited to take up the Action for Children Snowdon Challenge on 22 September 2012.
 
The annual event sees intrepid participants trek through stunning scenery to the 3,560 feet high summit of Snowdon - the highest place in Wales - to raise vital funds for Action for Children's work with vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
 
Nina Rice, Action for Children Community Fundraiser, said: "Our Snowdon Challenge is a fantastic, safe and inspiring experience, and a day out you will never forget. We are keen to hear from individuals, families and groups who would like help us make this special event an amazing success."

She added: "Anyone can take part in the event - you don't have to be super fit or of a certain age. In previous years we've had people in their 70s who enjoyed walking the route at their own pace."
 
No experience is necessary, as all trekkers will be fully supported by the Action for Children team and its partners, Snowdonia Adventures.

Participants pay a £30 fee on registration and are asked to raise at least £120 in sponsorship. They will receive a pack with fundraising tips.

This year Action for Children is offering a choice of two routes up Snowdon -  the Llanberis route and PYG track.

To find out more about the event and receive your registration form contact Nina Rice on 02920 347060 / 07889 887053 or email events.wales@actionforchildren.org.uk. Further information is available at http://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/get-involved

If you would like to sponsor the event without taking part please send donations to Fundraising, Action for Children, St David's Court, 68a Cowbridge Road East
