When my little brother Ed (now in his thirties!) was five years old he went on a school trip to Dorset. He got the opportunity to go climbing but it terrified him so he didn’t do it. Twenty years later, he decided to give it another go and that’s when he got the climbing bug. This Sunday he’s doing something AMAZING – leading a team of climbers who will scale the height of Everest (8,848m). In a single day! With their climbing wall 12.5m high, it’s anticipated the team will have to scale it 708 times over a period of 6-9 hours to reach their goal. The Everest Challenge will be a huge test for the team in terms of their commitment, strength and endurance.
My brother Ed also has Ulcerative Colitis so you might wonder why he’s embarking on such a feat.
