Climbing Mount Everest for Action Duchenne

• December 08th 2007
• Posted by at 22:43pm

I've persuaded a group of kind-hearted but extremely gullible colleagues from Hertsmere Borough Council, to climb Mount Everest - without ever having to leave the comfort of their own office.    Between 14 and 25 January January 2008, we will be abstaining from use of the lift and spending our lunch hours and time after work pounding the steps! If anyone can climb all the steps of our five storey building 553 times, they will have scaled the equivalent of Mount Everest - a mere 29,000 ft.

   Thanks to everyone who took part - 36 colleagues from Hertsmere BC in total during lunch hours and spare time. Will be adding some pics soon but the event raised over £12,000 which is terrific. The winner was Julie Morris who completed 553 ascents (and descents) of the 5 storey building in 7 days. Yours truly just about finished the event after two gruelling weeks.
