"Being a 20 year old Liverpool Student on my way to a Biology Degree I don’t really have much free time to organise anything too big. When a friend suggested this challenge I was so up for it. I’ve always wanted to climb mountains and with him doing all the planning I accepted. The timetable co-insides with University so I am free to participate.

I began training immediately upon deciding to go for it. I go for walks, runs, to the gym. Everything and anything possible. Even working at the sports centre with the children, I get involved with the games.

Coming from a sporting background, although this still will be a challenge I feel mentally prepared for this. Being an ex-gymnast I’m used to pushing myself, and the muscles built will help. Currently, I am a member of the University Netball and Ultimate Frisbee teams which has kept my fitness levels up. I’m also a lifeguard and First Aid trained.

This is going to be the hardest thing I’ve done in my life but, even a challenge can be fun!"
