Fundraiser of the Month
Climb Every Mountain
At the end of May, when most of us were enjoying bank holiday BBQ’s and the summer sunshine, Mike Keating and a group of friends were busy walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks. This 25 mile walk includes around 5,000 feet of ascent with a target time to complete the walk of under 12 hours.
Mike chose to do the walk for Aspire as his wife’s cousin has a spinal cord injury. He had little trouble persuading his friends to join him and together they have so far raised a fantastic £1,600.
Mike describes the weather for the walk as ‘almost perfect, overcast, but with no rain.’ He went on to say ‘never again’ but this had more to do with the night spent in a bunkhouse prior to the walk where sleep was at a premium. The group completed their walk in a speedy 10 hours 50 minutes.
Whether you plan to scale Everest, or perhaps something closer to home, Aspire will always be delighted to hear from you, assisting with your planning and fundraising.
Email Andrew or call him on 020 8420 8951and perhaps next bank holiday you could exchange those BBQ burgers for a lofty (or not so lofty) summit.
