Our very own Mark Bennett has decided to take on the personal challenge of climbing Snowden for Macmillan. Here’s Marks Story
A couple of years back my best mate John and I decided to climb/ hike up Snowdon or Yr Wyddfa (“Er with-va) for fun. Well actually we decided on three ascents in 2 days, for fun! Anyone that knows us will know this is completely normal behaviour.
That’s the background, now forward wind >>>>>>
John is diagnosed with cancer months before we were due to leave so the trip was cancelled. Months later whilst treatment is going very well for john, my Dad is diagnosed with cancer!
Although different cancers and different outlooks they have two very amazing things in common, me and Macmillan Cancer Support. The difference is I will always be amazing… Macmillan need your money to carry on being amazing and they really have been amazing.
The trip is completely self funded, everything you give goes to Macmillan, so please give generously. In return John and I will photograph and video all the fun we have for your enjoyment and my/ our you tube channel. You can already see some practice filming, using drones and expensive phones, in preparation for the Bennett and Burrows Big Weekender.
Thanks for supporting my fundraising. Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.
