Story


The sight of empty supermarket shelves at the moment is scary for all of us. This must be even worse if your cupboards are empty and you have very little money to make shopping choices with.

More people than ever will be turning to Foodbanks to feed themselves during these unprecedented times and with in-shop donations stalling you can help with a cash donation.

I was disgusted to hear that the foodbank trolly had to be removed from a local Tesco as the contents were being stolen, quite possibly by people that could afford to purchase those items.
Foodbanks need really our support more than ever.

In the spirit of #stayathome and the Food bank charity #TeamTrussell I will be undertaking an indoor ascent of Everest (8,850m) on the stairs in my house over the course of 4 days starting Tuesday 31st March 2020. Each ascent of my stairs is 6.5m in 30 steps, so the challenge will require 1361 ascents or 40,846 steps up.

I am asking you to join me in this challenge, by being as generous as you can

The ascent will be steamed live on this Facebook page and I think I will need all the support I can get as the house has steep stairs. I wont be alone though, I will be accompanied part way by my loyal ‘Sherpa’ Houndslow, though he does have a bit of trouble with the stairs and he only has short paws.

Join me live and share #ClimbEverestAtHome and together lets help feed those in need.
