A YOUNG mum has tackled one of the world's highest mountains to celebrate the life of her best friend who died aged 22.

Sarah Morris, 26, climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro carrying a photo of her friend Chloe Farrell which she attached to the sign at the summit.

Through the challenge, Sarah raised an incredible £10,000 for the Chloe’s Story appeal.

The appeal was launched earlier this month by Ty Gobaith and Hope House Children’s Hospices; the hospice helped Chloe's family say goodbye.

Sarah, of Prestatyn, said: "I think Chloe would have been laughing her head off at me because it was a real blizzard at the time.

“I cried like a baby but it was so cold my tears were frozen to my face.

"Chloe was the best friend anyone could ever have wished for - she was so beautiful and smiley and lit up any room she entered.”

Chloe, a former pupil at Howells School in Denbigh and Rydal Penrhos in Colwyn Bay, died in May 2017 after the tractor she was riding on overturned and crushed her at a holiday park in Abersoch.

Speaking of the aftermath of the death of her daughter, Chloe’s mum Karen Farrell said: “I couldn’t bear to think of my vibrant, healthy daughter in a hospital mortuary or a funeral home.”

Karen knew of Ty Gobaith and the Snowflake Room – a special temperature controlled room where children, who have died, can spend time before their funeral so their families and friends can say goodbye.

£50,000 is needed to create a Snowflake Lounge, next to the existing Snowflake Room and it was in this private space, last summer, that Sarah said goodbye to her friend.

Sarah added: “I bought angel wing bracelets for her and myself and our friend Nicola so we could always be together and I sat with Chlo and said my final goodbyes in a really lovely place.

"The services and support that Ty Gobaith offered to Chloe’s family during such a heart-breaking time is something I will never be able to show how grateful I am for.”

Sarah, whose has children Jude, Lily and Joshy, carried Chloe's photo as she scaled Kilimanjaro, which is six times as high as Snowdon.

Sarah added: “Chloe inspired me all the way – I told the guides Chloe’s story and they kept telling me to think of her when the going got really tough.

"I heard the total raised had reached £10,000 when I got to Heathrow Airport so I couldn’t afford to fail."

Karen said: "Chloe was always so proud of Sarah and how she coped with her busy life, her millions of jobs and her studying and bringing up her three beautiful children. It is amazing that she has made the time to train for and climb Kilimanjaro."
