Martin to hit the heights for the homeless

August 5, 2021

Martin Daker, from informatics is taking part in a sponsored walk up Snowdon on behalf of Your Trust Charity and the Trust’s Homeless Pathway Team on Thursday 12 August.  Martin suffers from Sarcoidosis, a condition that affects his lungs that leaves them with only 50 per cent of ‘normal’ capacity for a person of his age. The thought of tackling Snowdon again never occurred to Martin until a friend asked him to join in and he was reminded of doing it back when he was younger and healthier. Although still able to walk reasonable distances and even jog a little, Martin has had to undergo training – including breathing exercises – to condition himself as much as possible.

As part of his fundraising efforts, Martin is also planning to take ‘remote working’ a lot farther than the Trust originally intended – by hosting a meeting on top of the mountain itself!
