Doing Snowdon was always about more than just reaching the top.
It’s about women standing beside women through the hardest moments life can throw at us. It’s about community, strength, love and refusing to let women suffer in silence.
As we head into our final days before the climb, we’re making one last plea for sponsors and donations.
Part of everything we raise will be going to our beautiful friend Helen one of the original members of our menopause support group and one of the strongest women we know.
Helen spent years being dismissed and fobbed off whilst living in unbearable pain from endometriosis and adenomyosis. She was relying on morphine just to get through the days until eventually the pain became so severe it caused seizures.
After finally having a full hysterectomy, things sadly became even harder. Helen developed violent seizures which led to FND and cervical dystonia. She now struggles to walk unaided and has also developed Tourette’s.
Her life changed completely.
And yet somehow, through all of it, she still shows strength, courage and kindness that inspire every single one of us.
We are also proud to be donating to Women’s Aid and to our incredible church, the place that opened its doors to us and gave us a safe space to build this group from the ground up. Without that support, this menopause group simply would not exist.
This group was built from women needing connection, understanding and support. Now look at what these women are doing.
I am so unbelievably proud of every single lady taking part in this climb. The training, the commitment, the early mornings, the aches, the fears they’ve pushed through, the self doubt they’ve battled and the courage they’ve found has been incredible to witness.
Some of these women never thought they could do something like this.
Now they are climbing a mountain together.
That is the power of women supporting women.
This is exactly why our group exists.
To show up for women.
To believe women.
To lift women up when life tries to break them.
So this is our heartfelt ask. If you can sponsor us, donate, share this post or simply help us spread awareness, it would mean more than you know.
Every step we take up that mountain is for women like Helen.
For women rebuilding themselves.
For women fighting silent battles.
For women who deserve support, love and hope.
Thank you for standing with us ❤️
