John O’Brien, Managing Director of the Fibrax Group of Companies, completed a challenging 35-mile walk in the hills of North Wales, in memory of close family members and to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
A 35-mile circular route, the Llangollen Round takes picturesque views of the Vale of Llangollen whilst challenging participants to a gruelling 2,000 metre ascent.
John and his friends completed the walk over two days, traversing heather moorland, limestone grassland, coniferous forests and open mountain tops.
O’Brien said: “Cancer seems to be one of those things that affects us all at some stage. We completed the Llangollen Round in memory of much-loved family members who were very fond of this area. We were proud to support Cancer Research UK in this way.”
To date, John has raised £2,150 for the charity.
