6 Months, 11 Days, 7 Hours and 53 Minutes !!!

On December 12th 2010, I left Cardiff on expedition to climb the 7 Summits (which are the highest mountain on each of the world's continents) and venture the last degrees to the South Pole and Geographic North Pole, all against a 7 month clock. 

 

On Tuesday 12th July 2011 I successfully completed the 737 Challenge, and became the first ever person to stand on the continental summits and all 3 poles in the same calendar year and set a new benchmark in the climbing of the 7 summits.

 

I completed the 737 Challenge in 6 Months, 11 Days, 7 Hours and 53 Minutes.


7 Summits - 3 Poles - 7 Months

The 'World First' 737 Challenge.

 

The first part of the challenge is complete now, and now the focus is on Fundraising and getting maximum exposure for Marie Curie Cancer Care, which will then hopefully turn into pounds.  Please please help me to make a difference to the millions of people with Cancer here in Wales and the UK.  We really can make a difference!

 

Thank you so very much for you support and generous donations for the 737 Challenge Trust which is raising funds in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
