Story
Hi we are Jacques and Will founders of the Boxing and lifestyle Clothing brand TEN8. We are attempting to climb Ben Nevis the highest mountain in the UK to raise funds for Boxing Futures.
Boxing Futures is a dynamic charity which works to improve the physical and mental health and wellbeing of disadvantaged young people. They empower young people by building positive relationships, developing core soft skills and increasing confidence and motivation.
Our aim is to complete the climb in no more than 5 hours, We are mid 30s not in the best shape of our lives and are not experienced climbers or walkers for that matter, so the results could be, lets say, interesting for all involved. This will be a highly challenging and difficult task that we are taking very seriously and we will be training like athletes to complete our goal.
This is a charity close to our hearts. We have witnessed first-hand the work that boxing futures does for young people and the amazing volunteer's it is run by.
Improving the life of young people who may otherwise have no other avenues to go is huge not only for the young people that Boxing Futures helps, but the work done here has a positive impact on the wider community as a whole.The money raised on this climb will help provide a space that young men and women can go to improve their lives. Boxing futures are a non-profit organisation and the money raised really will touch the people who need it most.
All donations are welcome and will be used in various ways for example £20 would buy a volunteer for 1 session. £50 could buy a full set of equipment for 1 person and every £100 could pay for all staff for one session.
Please Help support TEN8 and Boxing Futures on this climb and help open the door for someone’s start to a better life
