A Sandbach man is putting his best foot forward to complete all six main routes on Snowdon in Wales in one day for children with cancer.

Chris Baldwin, operations director at Pear Hospitality owners of The Wheatsheaf in Sandbach, the Blue Bell at Smallwood and the Lion & Swan in Congleton, is taking part in the 'Snowdon 6 Challenge' next weekend.

The avid walker and outdoor lover, has been busy practising for the event which takes place next Saturday (September 6th).

Chris volunteers at The Joshua Tree in Northwich.

He said: "As many of you know, I have volunteered at the Joshua Tree for the past four years so it is a cause close to my heart.

"The Joshua Tree is a charity dedicated to providing support to families affected by childhood cancers. They offer tailored emotional and practical assistance to families across the North West of England and North Wales.

"Their services are designed to help improve the wellbeing of families navigating the challenges of a cancer diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and bereavement, ensuring that no family faces their journey alone.

"Their family-focused support extends to parents, siblings, and the children themselves, recognising the profound impact cancer has on every family member.

"They offer a range of services, including counselling, therapeutic activities, peer support groups, family fun events and educational guidance.

"Help me fundraise for the incredible charity, so that families can continue to get the vital support they need. They are a non-profit charity meaning every £ raised goes directly back to supporting families."

Chris has set up a JustGiving page here which has already raised £418 and donations are still coming in.

Sandbach Nub News wishes Chris the best of luck next weekend when he ventures up and down Snowdon several times for The Joshua Tree.
