They did it! Jack and Albert made it to the top of Snowdon ⛰👨🏽🦼💪 The former WaspsRugby player pushed and carried the 8-year-old from Rushden all the way, to raise money for a new electric wheelchair. 📲
Albert's disorder is genetic and it is characterised by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness.
The former Royal Marine commando started tailoring after-school activities to suit Albert's needs, allowing him to take part in building fires, playing ball games and other outdoor games. More than 80 people, including Albert's family and friends, joined the climb in support, which took about four hours.
A team helped transport the wheelchair by pulling it with ropes, while the former Wasps player pushed and steered it. "Albert and his family are incredible people so it was an honour to organise the event to help fund a new wheelchair for him," said Mr Fleckney."Jack has made our little boy's dream of climbing a mountain come true," said Albert's mum Sonia
She said the whole experience was "mind-blowing" and sharing the ascent with so many people was "emotional and exhilarating".
