Check out Felix's story, he wanted to go further than his Dad who reached base camp, beating him already! 

Felix’s story:

“My dad loves mountain walking. He's done the Alps, the High Atlas, Kilimanjaro and more. I've always wanted to go with him up mountains and for the last few years I have been. We've done walks in Snowdonia and the Peak District so far. But never abroad yet. I don't need a passport for this challenge though - sometimes I only go as far as my staircase at home! But I'm going to go higher than my dad has ever gone. He has trekked to the South Everest Base Camp in Nepal (5364m) but I'm going to go all the way to the top with this challenge. I'm glad I don't have to deal with altitude sickness though! I wanted to get involved with this challenge because it has been a really tough year for everyone and my unit was under the River Trent instead of next to it at the start of it! With the flood and Covid, I wanted to raise money for them but also for other Units so we can all get back to normal as soon as we are allowed to. I put a low target to raise because I didn't want to pressure my family or friends because lots of people have lost their jobs or been furloughed. It's been a hard year but I'm enjoying getting out walking with my dad and will celebrate getting higher than Base Camp as well as to the summit!" JCFC Felix, age 11, Burton on Trent Unit.
