Please help me raise funds for RDA who have been so great at supporting my Grandson Tane and many others who face many different challenges.

I am visiting from Canada and thrilled that my visit coincides with this challenge - what a great way to raise funds for RDA - I have watched Tane ride and seen amazing benefits. I will be hiking up the Mount most mornings we're in town and maybe some evenings to make sure it's completed before we go.

I'm Tane's proud Grandma and I want to help raise funds for RDA who are doing such a fantastic job.

38 and done! 5 March 2019

Completed the 38th climb this morning and took the photo at the official 'top.' While the trig point fixes the location and height it doesn't tell the story of the Mount - it's legend, it's peace, it's camaraderie - for which I am most grateful to the peoples, ancient and modern, for preserving and allowing access.

Good on More FM for their community fundraising idea of climbing Everest and choosing RDA. Good on RDA staff and volunteers for their vision, enthusiasm and encouragement for all those who need their services. And a shout out to Tane - awesome boy.

Back to Canada soon with lots of memories again - till next time.......
