Acorns – Sunrise on Pen Y Fan
Take in a stunning sunrise and remember someone special
Special people inspire special challenges to remember them. Take on a climb with a difference and experience the magic of sunrise over Pen Y Fan. Join a special group of supporters remembering their loved ones on this unique adventure. Could you take on the challenge and support children and families using Acorns in the process?
This challenge will take a circular route to the summit of Pen y Fan, 886 metres above sea level. There, you and your fellow trekkers will be rewarded for your efforts with a breath-taking sunrise and spectacular views of the Brecon Beacons National Park. During the climb we’ll take moments to remember and reflect on your loved ones with special memory making activities.
Commitment to fundraise
The minimum fundraising requirement of £250 will help Acorns make sure families caring for life limited children are never alone. When a child receives a life limiting or life threatening diagnosis, a family’s world is turned upside down. It’s a terrifying, lonely time – and help can’t wait.
Part of your fundraising, alongside your registration fee will be used to cover the cost of your trip. Our expert events team will be on hand to support you with your fundraising to help you achieve this target.
By taking part in this incredible challenge and joining #TeamAcorns, you will provide a light in the darkness for families who need Acorns vital care.
