On the 5th January 2018 we sadly lost our amazing daughter Rhiannon.This was something that came out of nowhere.One spilt second decision took away our Daughter&#x27;s future and brought all her Family’s crumbling to the ground.In the first few years you find that life is very hard work, all my passions and loves were just replaced with numbness and a desire to get my Wife and Children through this difficult time.I have very few memories of this time as we stumbled along on a road of heartache and struggle.I began to find my times in the fells with friends and the dog although hard (thinking of Rhi) began to bring back the love I have always had for Walking. A love that I shared with Rhiannon on our many adventures, wild camping in the Lakeland fells and hiking the West Highland Way.Every time I would Summit the Hills around my Home I would always call out her name and do so on every walk.Five years on and the hurt never really leaves us, although I myself am not religious I do have a strong respect for the Three Deaths.There are three deaths: The first is when the body ceases to function. The second is when the body is consigned to the grave. The third is that moment, sometime in the future, when your name is spoken for the last time.It is which this in mind that I signed Up 3 years ago with a friend to walk to Everest base camp.The emails from EverTrek during lock down were something that inspired me to want to get back out and walk some new hills.So I would like to take this opportunity to raise some funds for 2 charities .The first is Papyrus – to try to help another young person from feeling like there is no other choice and to stop other families having to live through this nightmare.For the other charity it was important for us to do something in Rhiannon’s name. Rhiannon loved playing her violin with the Westmorland Youth Orchestra.They gave her the opportunity to play alongside her best friend and other talented musicians. Half of the funds raised from this trek will be donated to the Youth Orchestra for a fund to benefit strings players.
