OUR EVEREST CHALLENGE
OUR STORY
When we went into lockdown, we felt sad that we wouldn't be able to see our friends and go to school.
We wanted to turn something difficult into something good, something that we would be proud to look back on. And, along the way, show our support for our brilliant health workers.
And so we decided to climb Everest. Not the real one of course, but the hill next to our house. We worked out that if we climbed it around 60 times it would be just like climbing the real thing.
Keeping reading to see how we're getting on and how you can support us...
OUR INSPIRATION
Our challenge was inspired by Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay who were the first people confirmed to summit Everest.
We've read about their great adventure and shared some facts with you.
People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things.
EDMUND HILARY
