This is the touching moment a rugby team carried a wheelchair-bound dad to the summit of Snowdon—helping to fulfill his lifelong dream.

Members of Bangor Rugby Club helped Phil Thompson to the Welsh mountain’s 3650-foot peak earlier this month.

The 66-year-old has always wanted to reach the top of Snowdon but thought it would be impossible after a motorbike accident at 19.

Phil’s 29-year-old son, Sam Thompson, plays for Bangor and when Mark Owen on the team heard about the dream, he knew he could make it happen.

The club had already been planning a fundraising trip up Snowdon (aka Wyddfa), so this tied in perfectly.

“It wasn’t what we’d initially planned, but it ended up being the perfect addition to our fundraiser,” said Mark, from Bangor, in northeast Wales.

“Bangor Rugby Club is very community-focused, and Phil hasn’t missed a game in over a year, come rain or shine.

“So, when I heard that reaching the Snowdon summit had always been a dream of Phil’s, it felt only right to help him get there,” the 41-year-old told SWNS news agency.

Mark began planning the fundraiser in early May after hearing that some of their funding had been cut by the Welsh Rugby Union. As an active member of Bangor Rugby Club, he wanted to ensure they’d be able to keep offering their youth activities.

“When we heard the WRU were cutting our funding, we weren’t necessarily surprised,” recalled Mark. “That’s why I thought we should do something ourselves.

“I’d initially thought we’d climb Snowdon carrying tackle bags, which most people were on-board for. Then, Sam mentioned to me about his dad and how he’d always wanted to summit Snowdon…”

Phil had an unfortunate motorcycle accident when he was 19 and has been in a wheelchair ever since.

Mark said: “Hearing this part of his story made me really want to help, and it fit perfectly with what the fundraiser should represent.

“It was a no-brainer that we wanted to include him, it was just about how we could do it.”

Mark had initially talked with Snowdonia Park to organize an electric wheelchair to take Phil from Camp Llanberis to the summit, but, just days before the event, they learned the wheelchair could only be used on another route—and only go part way up.

So they decided to see if they could get a frame so they could carry Phil in the chair.

“It was just three days before the climb, so we were all a bit panicked. Luckily, we found an amazing welding company, Pro Weld in Caernarfon, who sorted us a frame for free within the allotted time.

“The last minute save meant the whole fundraiser was actually able to go ahead.”

On the day of the climb, everyone met at the club premises at 5am and set off. The majority of the team started from the bottom, carrying tackle bags, until they reached Camp Llanberis where Phil was waiting.

Everyone partaking in the fundraiser over the age of 16 helped carry Phil up Snowdon until they reached the peak over three hours later.

“It was a really touching moment,” said Mark. “Sam got quite emotional at the top and thanked everyone, telling them what it meant to him and his dad.

“I know Phil is not a very emotional guy, but I saw he had a moment looking out from the peak.”

As well as helping Phil check off a bucket list item, the GoFundMe campaign succeeded in raising over $2,100 in the first week following the event.

“A special thanks to Pro Weld in Caernarfon for fabricating the frame around the wheelchair,” the club wrote on Facebook. “Your skill and generosity made this possible.”

“This challenge showed what our club is truly about – community, determination, and looking out for one another. Here’s to many more!”
