Ross Tomkins
Ross's Ross's Triple Challenge 2019
Fundraising for HEEL AND TOE
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My name is Ross Tomkins. I am a 41yr old physiotherapist from the NE of England with a global focus of improving health & Wellbeing through my various business endeavours.
I love combining my love of travel with exercising in the great outdoors. Snowboarding, cycling, running and golf all figure often but it’s hiking that really does it for me. I have travelled with great friends and enjoyed challenging myself for more than 15 years, raising thousands of pounds for numerous charities whilst self-funding all my trips. My ultimate aim is to summit the highest mountains on all seven continents ‘The Seven Summits’ whilst raising awareness and funds for Heel & Toe.
Well practised in The Lake District, Scottish Highlands and the North Yorkshire Moors, I have also achieved multiple ascents of high mountains in South America, North America, Africa and Asia.
Among numerous expeditions, I have now hiked through Torres del Paine in southern Chile, the Inca Trail in Peru, along part of the Great Wall of China, reached the highest point in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro 5895m in Tanzania, the highest point in North Africa, Mount Toubkal 4170m in Morocco, the top of the most glaciated mountain in Contiguous North America, Mount Rainier 4392m and am departing for the roof of Europe, Mt Elbrus 5642m in Russia in July this year.
This challenge will involve numerous training weekends including The Cleveland Way and The Welsh 3 Peaks but to add to my fundraising I will also be taking part in the 12km obstacle course race, Total Warrior in Leeds on June 22nd and finishing the trio with the Great North Run on September 8th.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Kind healthy regards
Ross
