At 1,085 metres, Snowdon is the highest mountain in England and Wales and the same height as Table Mountain in South Africa. The terrain is comparatively easy going, and the challenge is graded as hill walking but what it lacks in difficulty it more than makes up for with variety and interest. With ever-changing views this is an ideal trek for anyone with a reasonable fitness level - this is not a race but a personal or team challenge while raising much needed funds for the animals you care about.
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page
So what am i going to do and why
A few weeks back i came across some horrendous video images, that i could not get out of my mind, images of moon bears being tortured, for their bile.. oh! yes make no mistake this bile is magic, it actually works, but then i discover that there are 54 herbs and a few synthetic options available that are cheaper and just as effective...so now i am angry!!
Why use bear bile at all, culture, tradition, for that we would have to ask those that use it, traditional Chinese medicine always seeks to be in harmony with nature, this is barbaric, has no place in modern Chinese medicine,and is totally in discord with nature, but its a $1,000,000 per year industry.
The truth is that this industry is kept alive by those that use the medicines and bear parts, it is illegal to export bile out of China, but over 90% of bile found in the U.S.A. comes from China, in Canada it is well over 70%
Education is very important, to save these beautiful animals from a life of pain and suffering, so that brings me to the what?
I have decided to do what i can to raise funds for the Animals Asia Foundation, and too this end will assend mount Snowdon in Wales, on June the 6th, also a few other things, one being a house party on April 25th. There is also a chance to trek Vietnam later this year,
So please sponsor me now!
All online payements go direct to Animals Asia. If you are a United Kingdom tax payer, an extra sum of money will be given from the Government
