Looking for some inspiration this morning?
If so, then look no further than our Revantage Real Estate colleagues Michael Smith and Jack Stacy who will be tackling the enormous challenge of climbing 24 mountain peaks in 24 hours.
The pair will be aiming to raise £150,000 for the SeeAbility charity, both motivated by personal circumstances.
At 19, Michael and his twin brother both lost the majority of their sight because of a rare disease. For Jack – who recently became Chair of SeeAbility – the challenge is also deeply personal. His brother, Matty, was born prematurely and spent the first four months of his life in an incubator. The oxygen treatment that saved his life caused him to lose his sight.
On 7 September, Michael and Jack will attempt to climb 24 mountain peaks in the Lake District, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. They will cover at least 28 miles, while ascending a total of 12,000 ft. Throughout the challenge, Michael and Jack will be tethered together, with Jack providing sighted guiding and support the whole way. They will have to work in complete unison to complete the gruelling challenge which is officially graded ‘extreme’.
