Story

As you all know, this is very much a huge challenge to me, I am by no means fit enough to take on this challenge, but I am still going for it!

I am training and its going ok, more needs to be done though!

The biggest part of the challenge will be

  1. Being away from home - I don't often leave Calderdale or my boys!
  2. The food, what am I going to eat up a mountain!
  3. No WIFI - OMG!
  4. Camping, oh the lack of sleep and tired body! plus jet lag = a grumpy Rach!

So as you can see from above, the actual climbing I don't feel is the biggest challenge in all of this! But I am very lucky to be able to take on this once in a life time adventure and I wouldn't do it for anyone else other than our beloved Overgate Hospice. I could never repay them for how they took care of Our Ju and Aunty Marge and I get to see everyday what an amazing job our wonderful clinical team does.

Please donate what you can towards this amazing Hospice, we need to ensure it is here for generations to come.
