Community Fundraising
Sponsored Beard Grow
Throughout 2010 Bert Long has been growing his beard in aid of SSAFA. Bert has held several collections over the past months in various towns around Kent and he is on his way to beating his £2,000 target!
On the 29th of December Bert will arrive at his final fundraising event near Ashford in Kent, by reindeer and sleigh where the local Mayor will be waiting to shave off Bert’s beard.
Please support Bert’s fundraising at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/BertLong.
Everest Base Camp Trek
On the 25th September – 16th October this year, Nick Cabo and Tom Stringer will be trekking to Everest Base Camp and then to the Summit of Island Peak which stands 6189m above sea level. It will be a 22 day trek in total.
Please support them at http://www.justgiving.com/nick-tomtrek as they prepare for their challenge. Tucked well into the Everest Khumbu region, they will trek for 8/9 days until they reach EBC. Only 3 days after Nick and Tom leave the EBC they will be positioned in either the Base or High Camp of Island Peak ready to summit the following day. It will then be an early start to begin the 4 hour ascent to the ‘crampon point’, where they will need to don their climbing gear before continuing on towards Island Peak itself.
