Hi All

I am heading off to Scotland on the 4th of April to climb Ben Nevis (4,413 ft) Ben Nevis is the highest mountain on the British Isles. All in all it should take me around 7 hours to complete. As soon as I'm down i will be jumping in my Kayak and attempting to paddle the 96km Caledonian Canal in the remaining two days I'm in Scotland before coming home.

I'm taking on this challenge on behalf of Saplings Special School https://saplingsdublin.ie/

Saplings is a school who look after children with autism and additional needs from the age of 6 up to 18 years of age.

In Saplings at all times they aim to build self-awareness and emotional literacy in the children. And from a happy, more self- aware base their students can develop fully – engaging in the curriculum in their own unique ways

I know first hand the great work the teachers & SNA's do as my little lad Lenny attends the School. Lenny is non verbal but as the old saying goes "judge me by my actions not by my words" and Lenny runs into school everyday and comes out with a smile on his face at collection time. This is a great source of comfort for me, my wife and Lenny's brother and sister's.

In a perfect world there would be no need for fundraising ever but unfortunately that is not the case. Saplings is a registered charity and does rely on donations and the generosity of the community to ensure the students have basic classroom necessities. All money raised through charitable events goes straight into the classroom.

If you can there is a link below where you can make a donation to support my challenge . Any donation big or small is hugely appreciated

Many Thanks

Stephen
