Participating in More FM Mount Everest Challenge 2022

Bay of Plenty

I am going to attempt to do all 38 summits within 2 weeks time, while wearing full firefighting gear by New Zealand’s own Styxmill as well as a Dräger breathing apparatus. My motivation is to help raise money for Good Neighbour, while challenging myself in new ways. Wish me luck!!

Update!!! I finished number 38 on the 3rd of March! Making it in 11 days. Accompanying me were my two daughters Jasmine and Lily, Spencer, Roger, Harry and Rick! Thank you all very much! And thank you to all the Mount trekkers for all of your cheers and support on the Mount!
