Story

Donations accepted until the weekend of the Macmillan Wrekin Challenge day on September 15th 2018 10am - 3pm during which I'll attempt five ascents wearing the Muggy.

This challenge was completed on 26/08/2018!

Without missing a day, the challenge started on June 4th 2018, tackling the Wrekin a minimum of three times a day (1335 feet) every day for 12. This equates climbing Snowdon each day (3,560) and Everest each week (29,030). 

Overall summary of the challenge:

  • 2,004,361 steps
  • 14 Everests in total
  • 106 Snowdons in total
  • 320 Wrekin ascents overall 

Total miles walked in the twelve week came to 832

This was the second year of the challenge, 2018's being four weeks longer than the last. The overall steps and ascents were greater too

2017 completed 250 ascents recorded, without missing a day that totalled 1,477,016 steps by the end of the challenge. Daily updates were posted:

This year I reached the first goal of 300 ascents on Thursday 23/08 and two million steps barrier on Sunday the 26/08 on the same ascent as the final concurrent Everest ending week 12 and thus the challenge.

Heartfelt thanks to the support, encouragement, motivation and donations from the wonderful people I've met the last three months and the cherished people in my life I am fortunate enough to call friends.

Without people doing events, running marathons, climbing mountains Macmillan wouldn’t exist. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe and once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. 

Crowdfunding relies on people spreading the word so please use the buttons below as the more widespread this goes, the more chance of hitting the fundraising target. 

So please like and share this to as many people as possible and help the lives of those unfortunate enough to have suffered this terrible illness. 

Thank you.

Lex
