3 African Peaks Challenge
This year David Farmer, Deputy Head Teacher at St Joseph’s Pudsey Catholic Primary School, is undertaking the African 3 Peaks challenge. He is attempting to ‘virtually climb’ the highest 3 African Peaks, Kilimanjaro, Stanley and Kenya with a combined total of 16,203m.
Mount Kilimanjaro
He will do this by adding his ascents both outside and inside the gym over the coming weeks. He has climbed Mam Tor, Whernside and Ingleborough and is planning further treks across the UK whilst concurrently visiting the gym and ascending over 600m in one hour using the running machine.
The efforts are to help raise the £4,000 required to drill a bore hole at Thembinfundo, a special needs school in South Africa which at present has no running water and major sanitation issues. Mr Farmer said “These children deserve the dignity to learn with the basics of fresh running water, they have the potential to realise so many wonderful achievements but need the barriers to learning removed.”
