On reaching the grand old age of 90, to do a bit of good in the world, I signed up for this fundraiser for my chosen charity, Parkinson’s Research.

Starting on my 90th birthday on July 2nd 2023, my first challenge was to climb Mount Everest remotely by repeat-climbing the Glastonbury Tor. It took 55 climbs, completed on Jan 30th 2024 and raised £928, thanks to all the generous donors (watch me complete my 55th climb): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EeCRgCR-MdM

Next challenge was to increase my 55 climbs to 100 climbs by my 91st birthday, which I completed on July 2nd, 2024, increasing the sum raised to £1896. My challenge was then to complete another 100 climbs by my 92nd birthday which was achieved on July 2nd 2025 with funds raised totalling £3673. I’m now starting on my third hundred climbs to be completed on 2nd July 2026, my 93rd birthday. Here goes! Latest climb is #220.
