The climb reaches the equivalent of Mount Everest, a feat achieved by few. We are raising money for the York Special Care Baby Unit. The inspiration&nbsp;for our challenge came from a member of staff at school having a child who was&nbsp;cared for in the unit. Sam was&nbsp;also on the unit as a baby. We are completing the climb between the 11th and 15th of April at Energise.</p> <p>Your support is vital and with the money raised we hope to help purchase&nbsp;some equipment for use in the unit so that&nbsp;it can continue its wonderful work.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Three days to go! Thank you to everyone who has already donated.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>DAY 1: 2500 metres climbed!! nice work guys :D</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>DAY2: Another 2000 climbed today! starting to feel the burn now&nbsp;</p>
