This summer, the nine of us have decided to break in our walking boots and climb to the top of 6 mountains for a charity very close to our hearts - The Butterfly AVM Charity.
The mountains we will be climbing are 'The National Three Peaks' (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) and 'Yorkshire's Three Peaks' (Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough). We have set ourselves a goal of 60 hours in which to climb 6 mountains, drive over 1250 miles and fit in as much sleep as we can, between the 22nd and the 24th of August.
Collectively we have known Nikki for many years and so are very aware of just how significant an impact an AVM can have on a victims quality of life. We have watched in awe at how much of an inspiration Nikki has become, to adults and children alike, as she gracefully copes with adversity and does far more with her life, than many of us could imagine doing with our own. As a group, we want to do as much as we can for 'The Butterfly AVM Charity' in order to allow Nikki and thousands of other brave AVM sufferers all around the world to dream big and have the opportunity to achieve those dreams.
Your contributions can make a change, and help AVM sufferers like Nikki take one step closer to finding a cure.
Thankyou!
