Story
The Challenge:
We’re tackling 4 of the highest mountains in Scotland, England,
Wales and Ireland in 48 hours.
The challenge will see us summit Ben Nevis (1,345m) in Scotland , Scafell Pike (978m) in England, Snowdon (1,085m) in Wales and Slieve Donard (850m) in Northern Ireland - all in a 48 hour window between 10th to 13th August 2022.
About Me:
I have worked at Advanta for a year and have really loved the
idea that we use our networks, supporters and abilities to raise funds for those who are unable to.
Our charity has raised well over £500,000 and donated this to well deserving children's charities.
The best part is that the money required to participate in the events is
covered by the business Advanta Wealth Ltd so every penny (cent) raised is given to the children’s charities.
This event is going to be particularly difficult – but, it is a challenge that I am excited to take on to honour those who are less able
to.
My exercise is normally limited to ranging around golf courses and the odd cycle. Climbing mountains (hills?) is not something I have ever contemplated. Any tips would be gratefully received.
I would ask that all those who are able to donate a little, please do. I will happily send you photo’s, videos or stories of my suffering and pain in exchange.
We will have regular updates and I invite you to follow @advantafoundation on Facebook and Instagram.
Sincerely appreciate the donations and support.
Matt
