Climbing Everest for Children 1st

What! Bruce is heading off on a major expedition for weeks of altitude acclimatisation/trekking through the Himalayas?

No – don’t be silly!

Since we’ve moved to our new office, someone commented on the number of stairs (we have 4 floors) so we decided to use them to make some money for Children 1st.

15 or 16 of us in the office are each doing a share of 1000+ ascents from the ground to the top floor totalling 8850 metres or so (the height of Everest)

Now we do go up and down the stairs several times a day, but those ones don’t count – they have to be specific ‘Everest Challenge’ ascents.

If you wish to donate then head over to our justgiving page.

We have 6 weeks from the 1st of November to do it which equates to about 2 ascents a day – to make sure everyone can do it.
