Featured Fundraising
The commitment some of our dedicated fundraisers have shown in raising money for the children ranges from the inspirational, to the doggedly determined and in Chris Goodwin’s case downright brave.
St Christopher’s – Reaching for the Sky!
From Mount Snowden to Salem – Staff and students undertake the Three Peaks Challenge, considered one of the toughest outdoor challenges in Britain.
No Mountain High Enough:
Chris is a mountaineering enthusiast and scaled the 23,000 ft Ama Dablam peak in Everest National Park in temperatures of -30o and raised over £10,000 in the process for Shining Faces in India. Chris said the best part about the experience was the proper cup of tea he was given when he got back to the bottom of the mountain.
The Two Toms Tandem Tour:
Original and dogged, the Two Toms did the epic cycle ride from Lands End to John O’Groats and raised a fantastic £2,000. The two Toms are currently involved in other fundraising activities for the mission as part of the King’s Bruton gap year project.
Read the Reverend Nigel Wilson-Brown’s captivating and inspirational blog as he spent 40 nights under canvass, often in sub-zero temperatures to raise money for the children. His Lent in a Tent odyssey raised over £13,200.
