Adventures that have been taken on for PACT!

Jason’s mountain adventure ⛰️

In 2024, Jason took on two amazing challenges for PACT – running the London Marathon and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro!

 

β€œI wanted to mark my 50th celebrations by raising more resources for PACT.”

 

He said that climbing Mount Kilimanjaro was: β€œThe toughest thing I have ever done. Start at midnight after a snowstorm and walk for 11.5 hours up and back through ankle to shin-deep snow. Then a quick tea and two and a half-hour walk to tonight’s accommodation.”

Jan’s abseil adventure 🏰

 

Jan and nine other incredible supporters abseiled down the 100ft tower at Dorchester Abbey. They raised over Β£6000 for PACT and Dorchester Abbey.

 

Jan said: β€œAbseiling down the Dorchester Abbey Tower is one of the most challenging things I have ever had to do but I am prepared to do it because I am passionate about the work PACT does.”

Phil’s cycling adventure 🚲

Phil completed a 170-mile cycling challenge to raise funds for PACT’s life-changing work. He cycled for three days between three of our office locations: Reading, Brighton and London.

 

Phil said: β€œPACT does fantastic work in supporting vulnerable children and women in the community as well as creating families through its adoption services.Β Β 

 

β€œDay one was interesting during the amber weather warning and pouring rain last Monday! β€―Despite the weather, the huge hills in and out of Brighton and the London traffic, I had just two falls and two punctures, not bad for me!” 

See the impact of our work

Your support will make a real difference to the families we support.

β€œThe children are all achieving incredible things at school and doing after school activities, but most of all they’re just enjoying every minute of their childhood in such a more relaxed and happy environment.” – BB4K parent
