Along with amazing supporters from the fabulous charity Animals Asia, fearless Nowzad fundraisers braved 50mph winds to tackle the mighty Mount Snowdon in north Wales over the weekend of 14th September 2024. And they did it in style - setting a new Nowzad speed record for reaching the summit! This years team stayed together and blasted to the top in just three hours!! Well done crew! 

Sadly, the summit cared not for a speed record and remained shrouded in thick cloud giving no opportunity for a well-deserved view from the top. The biting wind chill forced the team to stop only for a brief photo opportunity before the descent trek beckoned to find a calmer place out of the howling wind.

Nowzad founder Pen, a qualified mountaineering instructor who accompanied the team to the summit, praised the determination of all who took part in the charity fundraiser.

“It was a super fun day, walking alongside fabulous people all with the common passion of fundraising to make a very real difference for an animal in need and as always, we celebrated our successful summit bid in style in the local pub afterwards!”.

Thank you to all the Nowzad Snowdon fundraisers who gave up their weekend to trek up a mountain to support the animal welfare work of Nowzad in both Ukraine and Afghanistan!
