The Matterhorn
- Matterhorn (or Cervino / Cervin) is a mountain of the Alps, straddling the main watershed and border between Italy and Switzerland. It is a large, near-symmetric pyramidal peak whose summit is 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) above sea level, making it one of the highest summits in the Alps and Europe.
- It is one of the most iconic mountains in the world, known by experienced mountaineers and newbies alike, background for timeless skiing holiday photos and reference point for confectionary aficionados.
Alex’s support
- We all have our struggles and fears in life.
- We all feel helpless at times, maybe even irrelevant to the world around us and that sometimes we go through life without leaving a mark.
- Adversity is difficult to overcome for anyone, but especially for those less fortunate.
- Most of you already know about my passion for helping others in difficulty, especially from my previous fundraising campaigns around supporting underprivileged children.
- And many of you know about my passion for mountains and the great outdoors.
- This year, on my birthday, I’ve decided to combine these passions and launch this fundraising campaign for Climb Again, as their mission is very close to my heart.
In the end it is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves (Edmund Hillary).
Onwards and upwards!
