Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Inspired by others doing their bit all over the country to raise money such as Disney RM on Facebook and Captain Tom Moore. I have decided while I am away on HMS Queen Elizabeth conducting sea training I will climb the highest peak in the solar system. I will be using the tall stairwells in the what is the biggest ship ever to serve In the Royal Navy. Rheasilvia is 14miles at it’s peak on the asteriod Vesta. I need to climb the stairwells over 1,400 times. I simply can’t do it one go Owing to the fact I still have a day job to do and that the ship is under going extensive training at the moment involving exercises at random to prepare the ship for it‘s operational capability. This will all be done in my spare time. I leave the ship in three weeks as I go away on further career training so I have to average 70 climbs a day. Not knowing when I get a spare moment makes this all the challenge. Remember you aren’t supporting me this is for the ones doing all the hard work and putting others before themselves.

Thank you for reading.

AB Hopkinson.
