The Chamonix Hard Cross 3 Peak Challenge involves taking on 3 mountains in 3 different countries, France, Italy & Switzerland, in 3 days. In total, we will ascend a total of 4500 metres, almost thie height of Kilimajaro, but in just 3 days.
The Foundation is seeking a team of walkers to take on the challenge to raise funds for hte Foundation, from 5-9 October 2016. The trip is being managed in partnership with Chamonix Hard Cross (https://chamonixhardcross.com/speed-hiking) who will arrange all transfers, accommodation, food and support. They are based in Chamonix and links with the best guides and refuges on the trail. They have years of experience and have run charity events every year. Here is what some of their previous fundraisers have said about the trip:
"What an amazin experience!!! It's only now that I have had chance to stand back and reflect on the last week, that I realise quite what we all achieved. Thank you for giving me what has undoubtedly been one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life..." S Brooks
" I just wanted to say thank you for what I think was one of the best experiences of my life." J Vickery
We still have places available for the event which aims to raise £20,000 to fund the employment of a new community development coach in 2016-17. As such, the funds will go directly to frontline coaching activities, enabling the Foundation to reach more children immediately. All team members are required to contribute £650 to pay for the cost of the trip and raise a minimum of £1500 for the Foundation.
If you're interested and would like to know more, we'd love to hear from you! Get in touch with Dan Steel, at [email protected] to find how to get involved.
