ISLAMIC RELIEF SNOWDON CHALLENGE
Women to climb Mount Snowdon on 21st July 2007,
for Islamic Relief's Action4Africa Appeal
31/05/07

Due to the monumental success of last year’s event, Saturday 21st July 2007 will see another Islamic Relief organised ‘All Female’ expedition to the top of Mount Snowdon, in Wales.

	Saturday 21st July 2007
	Snowdonia National Park : Snowdonia National Park covers 823 square miles of the most beautiful and unspoilt countryside in North Wales. Read a poem by a Participant:

It is hoped that even more women will join this years trek to the top, and therefore raise even more money for Islamic Relief’s ‘Action4Africa’ appeal. Last July, 70 Muslim women decided to challenge themselves beyond anything they had previously done.

The hard work started long before the event itself as they got fit enough to make the trek. It was difficult, it was challenging but it was also extremely worthwhile as they raised £15,000 for the Horn of Africa appeal.

Why should more sisters take part this year?
Despite the difficulty, those who took part were adamant that it was an extremely enjoyable experience; they got fit as a result and most importantly, they raised a huge amount of money for some of the world’s poorest people. Some, if not all, will be looking to take part again this year.

Zaid al-Rawni, the fundraiser for the West Midlands area says:

“The people of Africa desperately need our help now. This is an opportunity for women therefore to not only raise sponsorship money for the people of Africa; but to meet new people, as well as to do something completely different.

Although there will be some male volunteers there; the event is essentially women only. Women, who perhaps would ordinarily feel uncomfortable participating in mixed-sex activities, can now play an active role in changing the world”.

Would you like to take part this year?
Would you like to meet new people? Would you like to push yourself beyond anything you have done before, and yet have a smile on your face at the end? Would you like to raise money through sponsorships, in order to put a smile on the faces of some needy people?
