I'm hoping to complete the Mount Everest Base Camp challenge in March 2020. My goal is to initially raise funds for the application of this challenge, and then to raise the remainder of £4200 throughout the following year to successfully meet the threshold. My reasons behind taking on this challenge are based on a personal relationship with mental health issues. I want to take on a big challenge such as this to show myself and others that also suffer from mental health conditions that there is always more to life. Male suicide is a massive problem especially in the UK currently, and the more money we can raise to charities that help those suffering, the better.
