My aim is to contribute towards my team's fundraising for 'The Trussell Trust' network of food banks during this COVID-19 pandemic. My team page is called the 'Team Moorlands - Indoor Mountain Climbing Challenge 2020'. Our event will take place during the second week of our Summer term (Monday 27th April - Sunday 3rd May 2020).
About the charity - The Trussell Trust: Food banks do incredible work to help people most in need of support, especially during this COVID-19 pandemic. It is vital that we get support to these people now as this crisis unfolds. The Trussell Trust is working with food banks across the country to ensure that emergency help is there for people who don't have money for the basics.
'Last year, food banks in our network provided more than 1.6 million emergency food parcels to people in crisis. More than half a million of these went to children. As a nation, we expect no one should be left hungry.' - The Trussell Trust
About the challenge:
The challenge will take place in the second week of our Summer term (week commencing 27th April 2020). The goal of the challenge is to climb a mountain using my indoor staircase. I have chosen to climb Ben Nevis in Scotland which will be 587 flights of stairs (one flight is both up and down stairs) throughout the week, separate to generally using the stairs. I will be completing this challenge individually in the hope of raising money to help people most in need of support during this crisis.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my just giving page. Any donation would be very much appreciated by both my team and The Trussell Trust. Take care and stay safe. Emily
