On Sunday 17 July, she will be climbing Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales, alongside her consorts, Cllr Graham Shuttleworth and Peter Davis, and others.
Cllr Garry said: "Snowdon is certainly a challenge but one that takes place in beautiful surroundings. I am really grateful to everyone who is joining me on the day or has sponsored the team. We hope to raise a lot of money for some good causes that are close to my heart. I just hope the weather stays dry!"

- North West Air Ambulance
- Broughton House Veteran Care Village
- Pennine Pen Animal Rescue
- Oldham Cancer Support Centre
- Oldham Young Carers service
- Oldham Bereavement Support
