My name is Satti Saggu and I have set myself a physical, mental, and emotional endurance challenge, all to support 2 charities: Meningitis Now and Tommy’s.

What’s the challenge.

From 17th to 20th July 2023, I will be running, walking, and crawling the equivalent height to Everest! This is a whopping 29,032ft (8,849 meters) or approximately 29 times the height of the Shard in London.

I am hoping to do this by running up and down Ben Nevis. This challenge I know will push my body to the extreme, even more so as I am the first to avoid hills of any description.

Both the charities do excellent work in their respective areas supporting people who have been impacted by Meningitis or miscarriages / baby loss respectively.

I have included below a summary of my inspiration to support these great causes.

Tommy’s

Did you know that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in complications or loss, that equates to around 200,000 miscarriages a year. Having experienced baby loss on more than one occasion, my wife and I appreciate the emotional and physical impact it has. During our most difficult days after this my wife and I found Tommy’s to be a beacon of light, that helped us with heal.

Further information can be found here on the Tommy’s charity.
