Chris Edwards' Snowdon Walk - 3rd July 2011
Celebrating 21 years in Business with Edward's Moore
One of our great supporter's Chris Edwards and his business partner Matthew Moore celebrated 21 successful year's in business with their estate agency, Edward Moores on 3rd July 2011. They got together 21 members of their staff to do a sponsored charity walk up Mount Snowdon, with Round Table Children's Wish to benefit.
On the day, the group set off from Walsall at around 5am and met at the Pen-y-pass car park at 7.30am to begin the ascent on a truly glorious, but chilly summer morning.
They summited at around 11am and were treated to truly stunning, panoramic views which showed most of North Wales, Anglesea and even across to Ireland. Chris Edwards and Ken Hooper - both Snowdon veterens said that they had never been blessed with such fantastic weather.
After some much needed rest and replenishment they began the descent. Everyone got down safely and in one piece, able to take away a tremendous sense of achievement
and superb memories. Well done to all.
They have so far raised over £1200 for Round Table Children’s Wish and their aim is to raise £5000 by the end of the year with other fundraising events. They are very kindly donating a proportion of their auction fees for the year.
Thank you so much to Chris Edwards, Matthew Moore and their 21 staff members for the monies they raised and their continued support.
Should anyone wish to donate please go to
www.justgiving.com/Chris-Edwards5 we welcome and appreciate all contributions.
