Kidderminster paramedic Amanda Hill has raised £3,148.87 by climbing Mount Snowdon seven times in just seven says to raise money to support patients and fund research into neuroendocrine tumours.

Amanda was inspired by her neighbour William Fidoe, who is a patient of Dr Tahir Shah at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. Amanda knew how much the team at QEHB had helped Mr Fidoe and decided to do something incredible to raise money to support the team and their work.

During her walking expedition, Amanda camped at the bottom of Snowdon along with her husband and dog, Mr Fidoe and his wife came along to give moral support to Amanda as she went about her epic mission. Speaking afterwards, Amanda said: "It was a wonderful experience and I am so happy to have had massive support from my friends and family."

Sophie Carroll, Fundraising Officer at QEHB Charity said: "Amanda has achieved something incredible. Not only has she accomplished a physical challenge that the vast majority of people wouldn't be able to do, she has raised a brilliant amount of money that will go a long way to support patients at the hospital."
