Say a BIG hello to Frankie Griffin who has raised an incredible £5,100 for us after climbing Mount Snowdon in memory of her Nan. 🌻
Little Frankie, aged six, decided to take on the mammoth challenge after we cared for her Nan, Karen Griffin, who passed away in July last year following a brave battle with cancer.
Frankie told dad Nick that she ‘wanted to help poorly people like Nannie’ – Nick’s mum.
And so, on July 10 this year – a year to the day since her Nannie died – Frankie lead a team of eight to the summit of Snowdon in blistering 32C heat.
Nick said: “Dougie Mac arranged home visits and the nurses that came out to mum and the advice they offered was superb - no question was too silly and they always seemed to say the right thing.
“Frankie was amazing and lead the team of eight. It was hard going but it was a real team effort and so many memories were made. We also took Mum with us and laid a photo under some rocks with a view that was worth the walk. I couldn't be prouder of my six-year-old little girl!”
Huge thank you to Frankie, Nick and the team for their incredible support and to everyone who donated to help raise a fantastic sum of money to support our services.
