Disability advocates aim for wheelchair-powered world record climbing Mount Snowdon

Pair to highlight inaccessibility of hiking spots with Snowdon wheelchair climb

Two disability advocates, Josh Wintersgill and Maxwell McKnight, are gearing up to set a world record for the fastest climb up Mount Snowdon in a powered wheelchair. Their goal is not just to achieve this incredible feat but also to raise awareness about the inaccessibility of hiking spots for individuals with disabilities.

Both Wintersgill and McKnight have spinal muscular atrophy, a condition that affects their mobility. Despite this, they are determined to conquer Mount Snowdon using all-terrain wheelchairs and a team of supporters. They have already raised over £27,000 for Spinal Muscular Atrophy Charity UK, showcasing their commitment to making a difference in the lives of others facing similar challenges.
