Let's do this and get funds for Waipuna Hospice

  • The homeward stretch!

    Stretching has been the order of the day over the past few weeks....especially the calf muscles! One thing that hasn't been stretched is my shirts...I have lost weight! Not sure how much but I am definitely finding the shirt less "figure hugging"! - so one goal seems to be getting achieved!

    So I have 5 more to complete and it would appear plenty of time to complete the challenge....

    Some things I have enjoyed about the challenge - all those people who say "well done" and "good on ya!" when I wear the Challenge T-Shirt, and that comradeship when you see a fellow T-shirt wearer!

    As for the sunrises they have been amazing.

    Thanks to all those who have sponsored me so far...

    Please share my "donate" link to friends....

    Thanks

    Rich

  • I’m into the second decade of climbs

    20 down just 18 to go! Up at 6am on a Saturday (yep....6am!) to do a quickish two times up and down....so only 18 to go!

    Waipuna Hospice needs all our help....the fundraising need is $2.7 million this financial year...that’s over $50,000 a week we need to raise to be able to continue to provide care for our loved ones in our community. Please consider sponsoring someone doing this challenge (or me!)...I am so blown away by the number of people I have seen doing this challenge...a huge sacrifice of time to complete the 38 climbs!

    First day of the challenge and I managed the 5.30am alarm call. Pretty proud of myslef for getting up the Mount in just about 19 mins 30 secs! Weather was wet...but cool!

    The Mount looks so different at dawn. shame there was too much cloud to see the sunrise...hoping to see one of those in the next 37 climbs!
