Climbing Snowdon with Multiple Sclerosis in a Molten Rock Boma 7

HOW TO CLIMB SNOWDON WITH A DIFFERENCE… IN A BOMA 7 OFF-ROAD WHEELCHAIR!



With a love of outdoor pursuits Bev is not letting MS get in the way of her ambition to climb not only Snowdon but Mount Kilimanjaro! The MS society, which funds the Cambridge Myelin Repair research will benefit from the proceeds of sponsors to this ambitious endeavour. The BOMA 7 costs in the region of £11,000 and Bev still needs about £4,000 to make her dreams possible….a second ascent of Snowdon and then to climb Kilimanjaro in 2013.

The full article first printed in the Alsager Chronicle on 9th February tells how Bev’s daughter first saw a TV programme featuring these impressive wheelchairs and encouraged her mum to find out more.

Manufacturers Molten Rock are lending Bev a BOMA 7 for the first Snowdon ascent in mid March, but Bev is determined to raise sufficient funds to buy one for her future impressive projects.
