It’s been amazing to see some brilliant activity across our missions, raising vital awareness and funds for mito!

​

Regan’s Mito Mission, Cradley Heath

Some very brave fundraisers took on the huge challenge of climbing Snowdon blindfolded, to raise funds for Regan’s Mission and their U12s girls

football team!​

The team said, “The conditions, the cold, the wind and the rain pushed every single one of us to the limit. For those of us who’ve done this

climb before, this was without doubt the toughest we’ve ever experienced. Every single person gave absolutely everything they had,

and that says everything about our team.

We took on this challenge to support a cause rooted in real, daily struggles. To raise awareness of something that many families live with every

single day, often behind the scenes. Regan… this was for you. You were with us every step of the way.”
