The day for the Challenge finally arrived on Saturday 3rd July, when 6 teams set off from base camp in Capel Curig to undertake the gruelling 6 mile course around local forestry commission land. Determined teams, carrying a member of the MS Support Centre in a specially adapted wheelchair, took between 2 and 5 hours to complete the course and should all be congratulated for their magnificent efforts. Funds raised through the event are yet to be calculated, but should be in excess of £8,000 which will be a wonderful boost for the centre. In particular we like to say a big thank you to Keith Edmondson, who is our supporter of the month. Keith was one of the passengers in the Challenge and has secured over £1,000 in pledges for his team. Thank you to ALL the teams who took part – and we look forward to seeing you all there again next year!
