Snow Camp
Campaign by Switch180 (RCN 1101030)
Snow Camp is a life changing snowsports programme for young people. Working at indoor snow domes across the UK, young people learn how to ski or snowboard alongside life skills training, qualifications and mental health support.

Story

Over the course of 4 weeks in February, several DUSSCling's will attempt to run/ walk/ crawl the equivalent distance from Market Square (Durham) to the peak of Mont Blanc (France). The distance to be covered is 840 miles (1352 km) which will we split equally between all those taking part.

We're raising money for Snow-Camp; they're a fantastic charity which aim to support inner-city young people, through providing them with snow-related life-skills and mental health support. We think that this charities like these are in need of our support now much as ever, due to the detrimental impact coronavirus has had on so many lives over the past year.

We'll be tracking our progress on Strava and giving weekly updates via the DUSSC Facebook page - so feel free to follow our progress as we make our way from Dullham to Croissant land!

If you'd like to find out more about the great work Snow-Camp do, just visit their website at: www.snow-camp.org.uk

Thank you so much for your support !

UPDATE: Due to the number of DUSSClings wanting to take part, and to give ourselves a proper challenge worthy of your donations, we've decided to double-up on the distance, and run to Mont Blanc AND BACK. This will mean doing 1680 miles of running (2704 km !! ).
