Jade – Climbing Snowden

Jade climbed Snowdon to raise awareness of her sister Leah, who has been missing since 15 February. She and her friend took on the challenge in summer 2019 and raised a phenomenal amount of money to help other families in her situation. Jade said, “I would never wish this pain or worry on anyone and whilst right now I feel very alone in my feelings because I do not know anyone else who has gone through this, I am sadly aware that there are many other families going through this devastation too. I know how important it is therefore for good support and that is what the missing people charity does. They “are a lifeline when someone disappears”. This is why my incredibly supportive friend Emma and I climbed Snowdon. I had two aims. Firstly, I wanted to raise as much awareness of my sister Leah and her being missing in the most positive way. Secondly I wanted to raise as much money for a charity that right now is very close to my heart. A charity who in this unimaginable nightmare are able to provide support 24/7. They are fully qualified and are experienced in dealing with the families and friends of missing people. At a time where it feels like no one really knows what to say this could be exactly what is needed for people in the same position as me”
