Story
Hello, we are Constance and Sienna. We are 10 and 8 years old. We have four grandparents and we realise the elderly have been particularly impacted by the Covid-19 crisis. We want to help them cope with the distress or loneliness which they may feel as a result of this pandemic. To show our commitment, this Saturday 2 May, we are going to climb 100 floors up and down and do it in around 30 minutes. Tough!!!! That's like climbing to the top of the Shard and back; or the Eiffel tower; or the Empire State building. Maybe one day we can do Everest, but that's for later. And because we can't go to any of these buildings, we will do our challenge at home by climbing up and down to our apartment which is on the fifth floor 20 times in a row. And those are big floors!
