Story

We are gearing up to take on one of the toughest endurance challenges imaginable—Apex Everest—all in support of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) specifically Exmouth RNLI.

The mission is simple but formidable: to hike within 48 hours the equivalent height of Mount Everest—8,848 metres of climbing—in a single effort which is around 108km. A test of resilience, determination, and teamwork that will push us to our absolute limits. All taking place in the beautiful Lake District on Mount Helvellyn.   

But for us, this challenge is about far more than personal achievement. We are hoping to raise vital funds for the RNLI, a charity that saves lives at sea around the UK and Ireland. Powered largely by volunteers and public donations, the RNLI’s crews head out in all conditions, day, or night, to help those in danger on the water.

With a deep appreciation for the coastline and the risks it can bring, we are committed to supporting the RNLI’s lifesaving work. Every climb, every mile, and every moment of effort is dedicated to helping ensure that help is always at hand when it’s needed most.

Our journey won’t be easy—but with determination, community support, and a powerful cause behind us, we are ready to rise to the challenge.

Please support us as we take on Apex Everest and help make a real difference—because every metre climbed helps save lives.

Every penny raised is donated straight to the EXMOUTH RNLI and I think we can all agree that what they do is incredible.
