Carnell trek Mount Snowdon to raise vital funds for Brain Tumour Research and Mind.

On October 5th, 2024, we're embarking on an epic trek up Mount Snowdon to support two incredible causes: Brain Tumour Research and Mind. These charities hit close to home, touching the lives of our own colleagues facing brain cancer and mental health challenges either directly or through their families.

Scaling Mount Snowdon is no small feat, but doing it while rallying funds and awareness for these causes is nothing short of extraordinary. We're calling on all our colleagues to lace up their boots and join us on this adventure, whether on the trek or by fundraising and spreading the word. Let's work together to fund the fight against brain cancer and mental health problems!

Mark's Story:

On the 5th of March 2023, Mark and Julie received the unfortunate news of the passing of their beloved son, Nathan, following a personal struggle with mental health challenges.

The loss of a loved one can significantly impact an individual's mental well-being, especially in cases of tragic circumstances. While the government has concentrated on the backlog of NHS elective care, there remains an urgent necessity for funding to meet the rising demands of approximately 9.6 million people awaiting mental health services.

Mark and Julie, staunch advocates for mental health awareness and support, are preparing to embark on a journey to summit Mount Snowdon in honour of their son, Nathan. With the arrival of a precious granddaughter from Nathan and Paige, named Nathara, there is a shared commitment to fostering a future where mental health concerns receive equitable and serious attention similar to other health issues.

Participating in the trek alongside colleagues, Mark says, “to raise awareness and crucial funds for Mind and its beneficiaries through through a trek up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) with colleagues is great. The money and awareness raised will have significant positive impacts on so many.”
