Story
Mountains to Mexico 12 Peaks Challenge
12 Peaks / 60 hours / 11,759m (Everest + 3000m) / 38,570ft (Everest + 9000ft)
I'm aiming to raise £3,000 towards a volunteering project in Mexico in August 2026.
I would like to ask for your kind donations, to help me support people who really need help. Other young volunteers and I will build homes, serve the homeless and help run activities for young children in orphanges.
To help cover the costs of flights, buses, accommodation, food, insurance, house building materials and furniture for the families, we must each raise £3000.
In between studying for, and sitting my mocks in November and GCSEs in May and June, I will attempt to climb the 10 highest mountains in England and the highest in Wales and Scotland.
To earn your donation properly in what is already a seriously tough challenge for a 15 year old, it has been made much tougher by choosing to climb multiple peaks together! To make it even tougher, I’ll be climbing with my dad and younger brother Ryan!
This will be difficult and hard, but not as difficult and hard as the lives of the people I am setting out to help.
