A woman from Edinburgh is going to climb Ben Nevis in memory of her mother, who tragically died just days after a devastating motor neurone disease (MND) diagnosis. Connie Passmore passed away just three weeks before her 60th birthday, on April 2, 2018.
To mark the fifth anniversary of her mum's heartbreaking death in two weeks' time, Holly Passmore will take on the gruelling challenge of scaling the UK's highest peak to raise funds for MND Scotland, reports Edinburgh Live.
Speaking on the first time Connie began showing symptoms of the debilitating disease, Holly, from Colinton, said: “The first big symptom we noticed was in the spring of 2017 when mum began to dramatically lose weight."
