I have been a member of St John for just over 18 months now and it has changed my life dramatically. It is an organisation that I hold very close to my heart. I have just recently moved to Buckland's End and what better way to build confidence within the new team than to complete this challenge and better our unit and the organisation!

Buckland's End Adult Unit will be undertaking a very ambitious climb up Ben Nevis to raise awareness of the importance of first aid training.

 

Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles.Standing at 1,344 metres (4,409 ft) above sea level, it is located at the western end of the Grampian Mountains in theLochaber area of the Scottish Highlands, close to the town of Fort William.

 

Our challenge is to carry an Annie - resuscitation mannequin on our backs weighing approximately 9kg from the base of Ben Nevis at Fort William 4409ft to the summit. Once at the summit, the team of climbers will complete a 4 minute round of CPR. Proving that CPR can be done anywhere!!

Our route will be the Mountain Track which is approx 10.5 miles and should take around 5-6 hours to reach the summit.

 

With the intention of 6 people doing the main challenge of Carrying Annie, there will also be 3 others as support network carrying essentials such as water, food, emergency supplies and FA equipment.

 

The climb will be documented with the use of outdoor HD recording equipment attached to the main climbers and stills taken on the day by support.

 

Our aim is to raise in excess £5000 for SJA. Please show your support and together we can "be the difference"
