Unfortunately the trip was delayed by over two years due to the pandemic and finally took place in the autumn of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Sue trained tirelessly to embark on this amazing adventure although nothing could have prepared her for the challenge she faced when she reached Nepal. Through a series of incredible photographs and heartfelt explanations, Sue took us on the journey with her. She was just a few thousand feet from base camp when, unfortunately, altitude sickness and exhaustion got the better of her. Her daughter and grandson continued and, as you can see from the photo below, reached their goal along with Sue\u2019s Grandma sweatshirt.<a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2023\/03\/Cropped-FB_IMG_1677260392051.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4978\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2023\/03\/Cropped-FB_IMG_1677260392051.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2023\/03\/Cropped-FB_IMG_1677260392051.jpg 448w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2023\/03\/Cropped-FB_IMG_1677260392051-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2023\/03\/Cropped2-FB_IMG_1677260392051.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4979\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/files\/2023\/03\/Cropped2-FB_IMG_1677260392051.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"443\" height=\"330\" \/><\/a>In total, the team raised over \u00a37,000 which has been shared between SSAFA and Velindre Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Sue, the members of SI Bridgend are extremely proud of your and congratulate you on this tremendous achievement.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to hear more about remarkable women and the challenges they have risen to, why not join Soroptimist International and meet like-minded women. <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/bridgend-and-district\/contact-us\/\">Click here<\/a>\u00a0or call our secretary, Margaret, on 07791 989096 or\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:mrg2anthony@gmail.com\">mrg2anthony@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget to follow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BridgendSoroptimists\/\"><em>Facebook<\/em><\/a>\u00a0too to keep up with all our latest news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week at our Bridgend Soroptimist meeting we had the pleasure of hearing from one&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":802,"featured_media":4977,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,260],"tags":[169,220,249,250],"class_list":["post-4973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news","category-club-news-2022-2023","tag-bridgend-soroptimists","tag-nepal","tag-sue-jones","tag-the-big-climb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Bridgend Soroptimist on The Big Climb! | News | Blog | Events | SI Bridgend and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Bridgend and District : Blog &amp; News : Bridgend Soroptimist on The Big Climb! : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Bridgend and District .
