Wishing you all a happy weekend!
While I am enjoying a bit of rest until later in April some of my fellow adventurers are not!
Departing next week our friend Angus Bruce Jones will be departing to attempt to climb the North Face of Mount Everest, the less frequently climbed and more technical route, a process which takes nearly 3 months round trip. While he's not only undertaking this challenge he's added the element of a fantastic charitable cause. In association with 2 charities the Pahar Trustwww.pahar-trust.org and the Nepal Schools Trust www.nepalschoolstrust.org.uk, Angus will also raising money for his own charitable project for Nepalese children. The aim is to raise enough funds to install 25 playgrounds in rural and deprived schools in Nepal. For more information visit Angus' just giving page:https://www.justgiving.com/EVEREST-2013-PLAYGROUNDS-FOR-NEPAL/
Also in training is my sister, Michelle Kristofik who will participate in a 3 day walk with the Susan Komen Foundation, covering 60 miles. Michelle has pledged to raise $2300.00. 75% of the net funds will go towards national breast cancer research and local outreach programmes. The remaining 25% will go towards funding local community and affiliate out reach programmes. Michelle has added an additional incentive towards her fundraising and will give a piece of art from her collection to any donor. For further information follow the link below, or personally contact her via Facebook under the name Michelle Kristofik.http://www.the3day.org/site/TR/2012/General?px=6956536&pg=personal&fr_id=1819&s_subsrc=bfscheduler&s_src=boundlessfundraising
Stay tuned, and as always, I would love to hear about your personal adventures!!
