Over the course of the month of May, the Seashells Dolgellau team cover a combined X miles to raise funds for Latch!
For the final month of spring, the team at Seashells LTD Dolgellau decided to take on a challenge, to not only to give them an excuse to get out and enjoy the sunshine after a long grey winter, but to help support a local Welsh charity and help support families across the country.
'Our care team wanted to do an annual fundraiser but for a smaller organisation, in Wales.' Latch fit the bill. 'From reading up on what [Latch] does, it seemed the perfect choice for us.'
That's the equivalent of walking from Rhoose Point, one of Wales' most southerly points, to the Point of Ayr Lighthouse on the northern coast of the mainland... 12 times!
As if the challenge wasn't hard enough already, the team would also be contending with the unpredictable Welsh spring weather, which proved as reliable as ever, raining on more than half of the days of the challenge.
The team faced the rain, cold, and even occasional sunshine to ensure that they reached their goal, fitting in their daily miles before or after work.
The team wasn't alone in their challenge, with the town coming together to back the team; 'The support from all of our family, friends and our local Dolgellau community has been incredible.'
And the results of the teams efforts are clear to see, raising more than £4,300! 'We were sceptical at first about how much we thought we could raise but the total amount has blown us away. We are so appreciative of everyone's donations.'
