The Everest for Second Chances

This August Bank Holiday, I’ll be taking on the toughest physical and mental challenge of my life.

I’m going to climb Carrauntoohil — Ireland’s highest mountain — 15 times in a row, without sleep, without stopping, to match the height of Mount Everest (8,849m).

My route: up the Devil’s Ladder, down the Zig Zag, and repeat… until I’ve stood on the summit 15 times.

Why am I doing this?

Because I care deeply about rescue dogs — the ones who’ve been abandoned, mistreated, or forgotten. Dogs who sit in shelters waiting for someone to give them a second chance.

This climb is for them. Every painful step. Every cold summit. Every descent in the dark.

I want to use this challenge to raise as much money as I possibly can to support the rescue centres and volunteers who give these dogs hope.

If you know me, you know how much this means to me.

If you can, please consider donating, sharing, or just cheering me on.

Let’s turn every step climbed into real change for dogs who need it most.
