Climbing Nevado Pisco Mountain for Surf Cerrito

I'm attempting a 5752 metre summit in the Cordilleras Blancas mountain region in Peru, between the 19th and 23rd of August, to raise money for @surfcerrito

I've been working at this charity for the last month and witnessed kids benefitting immensely from the efforts of some exceptional people who have made the charity a success.

Predominantly, the charity's surf school which is located in the Cerrito de la Virgen community, provides a safe space for kids to have fun, grab some wetsuits and surfboards, and get taken down to the beach to surf with their friends.

Cerrito de la Virgen is a 10 minute drive from the world class waves of Huanchaco, and most houses don't running water and the town doesn't have as sewage system, roads, or bins. The activities and support through surf lessons and other events put on for the kids, empower them through learning, showing them what they're capable of, and having a positive impact on their community, whilst enabling them to reap the countless benefits of surfing.

The money will go towards things like the development of the school facilities which make a massive difference to the charity's ability to facilitate these amazing classes for the kids. During my time there, we managed to use old pallets to create changing rooms, with limited tools and materials.

We have plans for finishing off showers, storage units, roof reconstruction, better infrastructure for hosting volunteers, and more, to help improve the lesson quality and charity's possibilities.

Costs to run the classes also include transport to and from the beach, surf snacks, and surf equipment.

Any donations are greatly appreciated by everyone involved with the organisation.

Wish me luck
