I have set myself the challenge of skiing down the equivalent height of Mount Everest in one day!!! 

How will I do it?  I have been ski-ing in the SkiWelt area of the Austrian Tirol for many years, staying in Soll but using the interlinked lift system to visit the other villages.  What I will attempt to do on a suitable day for the first time on this next holiday, is to accumulate 8,850 M (29,035 ft) of decent in one day.  This is the height of Mt.Everest.  My challenge will be verified by my lift pass (see below).

Please support me - as a supporter of Theatre by the Lake I wanted to help raise funds for the theatre's education and participation programme.  I was introduced to theatre at an early age and benefitted enormously from taking part in many productions.  I believe passionately that all young people should have the same opportunities as I to take-part and to be inspired by the arts. 

Make DOUBLE the difference: Every £1 that I raise will be doubled thanks to Art Council England's Catalyst Arts match funding scheme - so every £1 you sponsor me will be worth £2 to the theatre.  Thank you so much for helping me.

How my challenge will be verified:  My lift pass, which shows an image of me, will be checked at the gate as I get on the lift.  This also records that I have ascended to the top of the lift.  I ski down to the next lift, which records the amount of decent from the top of the previous lift, then records the ascent, and so on.  In this way the day's ski-ing is accurately recorded.  At the end of the day's ski-ing I enter my lift pass number on the website, and get a diagram of the day's ski-ing, showing my name, vertical meters start and end time (total time) number of lifts used, downhill distance and lift distance.  The lift names are on the diagram.
