  • Pushing to the top!!

    Call me mad or even crazy, but I'm pushing myself in this last week; firstly to complete 5 equivalent climbs of Mount Everest (190 times), and then 10 more to finish on 200 total, all within in the 50 days.

    It's been so great doing this challenge; meeting everyone as we climb Mauao and hearing their stories. Today I caught up with Logie and his wife as he finished his 38th climb and Katie who is closing in on her 76th climb. Fantastic achievement!!

    Okay, let the fun continue....I've decided to also do the Mount Everest Challenge 3 times, climbing Mount Maunganui 114 times in the 50 days. I can't let Dan, aka '𝟯𝟴 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝗽 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗶, 𝗹𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗯 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝟯 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 '𝟭𝟭𝟰' have all the fun.

    Please continue to help us support 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 and all the great work they do and wish us both well as we push towards the summit.

    Come on Dan...lets go! It's not far now! I know we can both do it!

    After hearing so many who are also doing this great challenge, saying how they are going to climb Mauao 76 times, I've decided why should they have all the fun!! Count me in. I'll do the same. As of today my total is 41. Just a few more to go right ha ha.

    I managed to climb the Mount 6 times today, taking my total climbs to 25, leaving only 13 to go. I'd like to give a big thank you to everyone involved for the smart Mount Everest Challenge tee I wore today. It looks great and is very comfortable! It was also great meeting all the others doing their challenge as well. Keep it up :)

    Even Cyclone Gabrielle couldn't stop me from climbing the Mount today. It felt like a good day to go up four times, so that's what I did. Please support me as I push towards that fabled 38.
