Five employees of DeepStream Technologies Ltd. in Bangor, undertook the Welsh 3000s Challenge on the weekend of 11th – 13th July. This challenge involves hiking over all fifteen of the peaks higher than 3000 feet.
‘It can be done in a day’ said Andy, ‘but in deference to my age we split it into sections and took the weekend to complete it.’
A collection was made from the employees of Deepstream together with a few family and friends of the participants and £660 was collected for St. David’s Hospice. Many thanks to all concerned.
The Dawn Walk which took place in the early hours of Saturday morning went without a hitch and the weather was reasonably kind too. Watch this space for a running total of the sponsorship as it comes in. (See page ….. ) and for more photos check the Hospice website www.stdavidshospice.org.uk
Ria, Liam and Rebekah Roberts raised £400 for the Hospice by asking for donations in lieu of gifts on the occasion of the party they held at the Colwyn Bay Football Club on 2nd August. The party was a celebration of Ria’s graduation and birthday, Liam’s birthday, and Rebekah’s leaving do before going to Leeds University to study nursing. Good luck and many thanks to all of you!
