Story
On Father's Day weekend 2024, we will be attempting the Everest challenge. Over 24 hours and 26 miles, we will be climbing the same height as base camp to the summit of Everest - this endurance challenge has never been done before!
The UK is facing a fatherless pandemic. Nearly 1-in-2 15-year old boys don’t live with both parents, the majority of which live with just their mother. They will grow up to face far more challenges than your average boy. Unemployment, academic failure, depression, anxiety, gang involvement and poverty later in life are all far more likely for fatherless boys. 76% of young people in custody had an absent father.
‘Fatherlessness is the most harmful demographic trend of this generation. It is the leading cause of declining child well-being in our society. It is also the engine driving our most urgent social problems, from crime to adolescent pregnancy to domestic violence against women.’
David Blankenhorn (Fatherless America)
So, please, support us as we endeavour to write hope into the fatherless story.
