The group raised over $150,000.00 for Save the Children Canada to be used for its programs in Latin America.
On October 17th, 2009, 33 brave participants began their journey to Base Camp Everest – aiming to reach a height of 5364m or 17,600 ft. Each person had their own reasons for participating, but collectively, we had a desire of making a difference in the lives of those less fortunate than us, through Save the Children’s operations in Latin America. Our group consisted of 19 males and 14 females with an age range from 21 years to 60 years. The average age of the group was 42 years.
