12-year-old Mason from Hereford is taking on an incredible challenge this May half term — climbing the height of Mount Everest vertically on an indoor climbing wall.
Mount Everest stands at 8,848.86 metres, and to complete this challenge Mason will need to climb an indoor 8-metre wall an average of 123 climbs every single day for 9 straight days.
The challenge will take place at Green Spider Climbing in Hereford, starting on Saturday 23rd May and finishing on Sunday 31st May.
Mason is giving up his entire half term because this challenge means so much to him. He wants to raise awareness around mental health and help break the silence surrounding it in Herefordshire and beyond.
He is fundraising for in the memory of Jamo and we are asking for donations through the fundraising link. Every donation, no matter the size, will help support an important cause and show Mason that the community is behind him.
This is going to take determination, resilience, and serious effort — the equivalent of climbing Everest indoors, one wall at a time.
Please support Mason’s challenge,share this fundraiser, and help us raise awareness for mental health.
