This is the focal point of the whole challenge, the fundraising and for even being here reading this I would like to thank you for getting involved in the journey, helping to support Mind, Macmillan and ther Vasculitis Foundation.
The premise of the challenge is super simple in theory: Cycle up and down the same particular hill 72 times in so doing riding the total elevation of mount Everest (thus the Everesting Challenge). In practice it is going to be pretty tough...
Why? Well for two reasons:
1. To try and achieve something that has a substantially non-zero failure probability. The ride and fundraising tartegts are going to be very hard to achieve and it is good me for aim for the sky and become more accustomed to being proud in spite of failure.
2. To support my family and all other in positions like theirs by raising money for the charities that have helped them:
- Vasculitis Foundation: Not a well known illness but something that has affected my brother for 10 years now.
- Macmillan: Having lost my dad, stepdad, grandad and many other family and friends to cancer, macmillan have been irreplaceable.
- Mind: Supporting us all through the above, and in many other ways people all over, Mind are doing good for everyone.
Any questions, please reach out to me. Text me or call me (07766108912), email me (tomeames95@gmail.com), check out the instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/__72_reps__/) or check out the official everesting web page (https://everesting.cc/).
Above all: Talk to your friends, tell your colleagues, share your stories, ask questions, donate if you can and get involved. The more community we can get behind this, the more difference can be made to those who need it.

Training Update
For anyone following along on here (hopefully I am not posting updates into the void), training is progressing with sessions spent on the Maindy outdoor velodrome twice a week just to get miles in the legs in the cold. Running is still ticking over with the last XC race this weekend, but cycling volume is increasing inexorably.
Legs hurt all the time but thats a good sign!
Thanks for following along,
Tom x
