WE DID IT !!!!
The pair intended to raise at least £4,167, One Pound for every Metre of the Mountains height. TOTALS ABOVE ARE THE FULL NETT VALUE ACORNS WE RECEIVE, include Gift-Aid tax refunds & JustGiving costs deductions)
£4,500 is required every day to run just one of Acorns three hospices, to enable them to care for Children with life limiting conditions.
Acorns Children’s Hospice will be the sole beneficiary of money raised for a winter climb of Mount Toubkal, part of the High Atlas Mountains and the highest peak in Northern Africa.
Ivan Smart and Dave Marlow, will be under the instruction of Squadron Sergeant-Major Marcus Heslop of the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment during their training. This will involve extended trips to Snowdonia during January & February.
A winter climb of this altitude presents its own problems compared to a normal trek. David Butcher who is the event patron and Vice Chairman of Acorns said “The Sergeant-Major will ensure that they are fit for the climb and prepared for the cold weather, however no one can train for the effects of altitude sickness. We all wish them every success”
