Patrick King, one of the group, and assistant manager at Gala’s Bingo Hall in Sudbury, was among those hoping to raise £100K for the Sue Rider Charity. He, like most, is just falling short of his target. So, they need your dosh Roomies! Each of the group has their own “just Giving” page. You can read why, what and how, each and every one decided to take on this enormous challenge. It’s great to read their stories, and you will be surprised, and inspired to read why, each and every one of them joined in.
According to the groups blog, there were a “few tears” around when they reached base camp. Without doubt, achieving what you set out to do, when it is such an arduous thing too do, is bound to stir a few emotions. The trek has taken them 75miles, and 2700 meters up the worlds highest mountain. You might wonder, how did they manage that? According to them,
“through a combination of sheer will power and team spirit”.
Of course, they have achieved a lot personally, as well as doing a great thing for a very deserving charity. The twenty four Gala Employees who made the climb, were chosen from around 100 original applicants. Before they even left for base camp, they had already achieved a great deal. These guys have been through a gruelling experience, and yet, all they are asking you to do, is donate… so donate!
