Mark Connolly of Huws Gray in Wrexham has been a long-term supporter of Dynamic for many years and Mark has shown his support in many ways, including his last fundraiser which involved dying his beard bright pink. Last year he approached some colleagues about taking on a big challenge and between them they decided to tackle the 3 Peaks challenge. The climbers will be Lee Jones, Shane Rhys Jones and Dale Evans with Mark navigating and providing support.
The challenge itself will involve climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours and will take place over the May Bank Holiday
Mark Connolly said ‘I have friends whose children have accessed Dynamic services over the years, so I know first had what a brilliant service they offer. The children enjoy attending the sessions and it also gives a little bit of respite to the families.
When I first mentioned a challenge for Dynamic my colleagues were quick to suggest the 3 Peaks. They all knew of Dynamic and the fantastic support they provide and wanted to do their bit to help. We know the challenge itself will be tough but there is lots of training already underway and we are confident we can complete it within the 24 hours timeframe. We would like to thank everyone for their donations so far, their well-wishes and donations are really helping to spur us on. All donations, large or small will make a huge difference to this fantastic charity’ Marie Gibson, Liaison Officer at Dynamic said ‘We are incredibly grateful to Mark, Lee, Shane and Dale for taking on this incredible challenge. We know how much time and effort is going into the training, planning and organisation of the actual event and are very grateful.
Nobody has ever taken on this challenge in aid of Dynamic before, so we are very excited and happy to show our support to the guys. Every penny raised will be used to directly benefit the children and young people who access Dynamic services.’
