The lack of rain this summer has meant the horses have been eating more hay than grass leaving a shortfall in stocks.

So between 2nd and 4th October

Lorri and Lynne from Exercising Kindness

will be aiming to climb the height of Mount Everest (8,849 metres) one step at a time to raise some extra funds

But they need your help to climb the 58,070 steps required to reach the summit.

Can you climb a few steps at home or at work or anywhere there are stairs or steps? Send us a photo with a note of how many you have done and if you are able to donate £2 as well that would be brilliant.

We are aiming to raise £1000 so that Jenny and her team can buy in some hay

Every step you do... is one less for the Exercising Kindness Team to do....

We will keep a running total of steps and hopefully complete the challenge in 48 hours climbing the final steps at the sanctuary on the morning of the 4th October.

It sounds like an impossible task but together we can make it possible...
