On Saturday 15th June 2023, a group of 40 people all climbed Snowdon in the hail, rain, wind and then thankfully sunshine to remember Leigh Remington (46) who unexpectedly tragically died of a cardiac arrest at home with his loving wife, two boys and two close friends. One of the things Leigh loved to do was climb mountains, especially those in Snowdonia. He’d climbed Snowdon many times with his Dad & Brother, best friend and wife and was determined to take his sons up Snowdon, unfortuantley Leigh and Joe & Sam, didn’t get this opportunity to enjoy and share this experience together.
No doubt Leigh was with us in spirit and collectively including Joe & Sam we achieved the Snowdon trek this Father’s Day weekend. Whilst doing so we raised money for the incredible charity CRY that aims to save young lives from fatal cardiac conditions. CRY are continuing to support the process in exploring why this happened to Leigh and support Joe, Sam and family members with any underlying fatal cardiac conditions.As i type, we have raised approx. £5,700 + Gift Aid. Hopefully this will go towards supporting other families, screening or indeed research to reduce the number of fatal cardiac arrests.
