teenager rachael emery climbed mount snowdon four years after being diagnosed with ph, raising over \u00a32000 for our charity. <\/strong><\/p>

climbing wales\u2019 highest mountain is a tiring task for even the fittest of people, so when rachael emery made it to the summit with a hickman line, it was an enormous achievement. rachael, from bewdley in worcestershire, climbed snowdon with her brother tom and dad jools, just four years after being diagnosed with ph and connective tissue disorder.<\/p>

\u201ci had to deal with 60mph winds so that made it harder,\u201d rachael said. \u201cwhen i got to the top, i felt so proud of myself but to be honest i just wanted to get down, it was too windy!\u201d<\/p>

rachael\u2019s mum helen said: \u201cwhen i think about the journey she\u2019s been on, from hardly being able to walk at the beginning, i feel super proud of her \u2013 it\u2019s unbelievable. she will not let anything hold her back from enjoying life, despite all that she has been through.\u201d<\/p>

raising money for the pha uk was important to the family after the treatment rachael received. \u201cthe charity has done so much for people and i felt it was time to give something back,\u201d rachael said. fireglass uk, the employer of her dad jools, donated \u00a31000, meaning \u00a32145 was raised in total. \u201ci never expected to raise so much \u2013 my target was \u00a31000 so i was amazed when i\u2019d more than doubled that.\u201d<\/p>

helen is also grateful for the help of the pha uk and the gosh specialist team. \u201cwhen you have a child who is diagnosed with ph, you feel alone because it\u2019s such an isolating condition,\u201d she added. \u201cdr shahin moledina, dr roberta bini and rebecca turquet have supported rachael and our family throughout her journey. the pha uk has also offered a lot of support and it\u2019s comforting to know that they\u2019re there.\u201d<\/p>
