JOIN OUR ‘CLIMB ANY MOUNTAIN
FEBEREST’ CHALLENGE
Here’s the plan. You climb a mountain and while
doing so raise money for MFC Foundation.
Fear not, we’re not asking you to actually climb
a mountain, just the equivalent and the task is
spread over the whole month and in the comfort
of your own home, workplace or place of learning.
Anywhere that has a staircase really.
Whether you’re an individual who fancies
a challenge, a local business who wants to
encourage their employees to work together to
reach their goals, or a family reaching new peaks,
your efforts will help us to continue to work in
your communities.
The average height of a staircase in a UK home
is 7.87ft, so using this figure we’ve worked out
how many times you would have to climb your
stairs to scale the heights for a clutch of different
mountains throughout February.
If your stairs are different, you can
just divide the total footage of the
mountain by the height of your stairs
(in feet) and that will tell you how many
times you will need to climb your stairs.
The walk back down doesn’t count
towards your total – that’s your descent
of the mountain!
The MFC Foundation Climb Any
Mountain Feberest Challenge will also help keep you fit
and healthy – an important part of your physical and
mental wellbeing.
MFC Foundation business development manager Paul
Shepherd outlines why we’re setting down this challenge.
“Helping our communities to maintain and improve both
their physical and mental wellbeing is very important. This
challenge will not only help do that but at the same time
raise monies to enable MFC Foundation to continue our
work within our communities, often with some of the most
vulnerable people in society.”
