Story

Thanks for considering donating money towards this really rather ridiculous challenge. 

Please donate. Your money will help Golddigger Trust keep on delivering the incredible work they do with young people. Supporting them through times of crisis and building resilience for any difficult times ahead. If you want to find out more about Golddigger, visit www.golddiggertrust.co.uk During this time of global pandemic, almost all planned fundraising has gone out of the window. Your donations will help keep young people safe, strong, and stable - every donation makes a difference.

(Oh, little tip: have a think about how much you'd like to donate... ok, got that figure? Lovely. Now double it, that's the amount to give. Thanks)

So how did this all come about. Well I decided that I was going to try and raise £5000 for Golddigger Trust and to do that I thought I'd take part in the "15k for 15 Years" campaign. Rather than running or walking 15k I wanted to do something a little different, so I'm going to climb 15k up my staircase which is the equivalent height of Ben Nevis, Mont Blanc, and Everest (the tallest mountains in the UK, Europe, and the World).

This means running, walking, or dragging myself up my stairs around 333 times a day. Every day. For 15 days. I was not built for this and my preparation hasn't been ideal (to say the least).  I'll also be documenting this on little videos so you can see how much I'm not enjoying it, so do check out the updates below.

Do I think I will knacker my knees? Yes, probably.

Do I think I will knacker my ankles? Yes, almost certainly.

Do I think I will at some point fall down my stairs with exhaustion? Absolutely.

So, please, give generously, give abundantly, and give knowing that your money is going transform lives.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
