If you’ve been chomping at the bit to put your fitness to the test and rise to a challenge during lockdown, then why not take part in Conquer the Climb. This is your chance to scale great heights this summer – reaching the summit of Snowdon, the Matterhorn or Everest, either inside on your stairs or outside up a local hill.
All we ask is that you pledge to raise £100 to help us climb closer to a cure and to support those living with a brain tumour. And if you can raise more – we’d really appreciate it!
Starting on Saturday 20 June – the longest day of the year – you can take advantage of those precious extra daylight hours when you do this eight-week challenge, which can be as easy or tough as you like. When you’ve reached your pinnacle of success, we’ll send you your commemorative medal to mark your achievement!
Create your fundraising page and email us to let us know your t-shirt size and where you’d like it sent to.
Will it be Snowdon, the Matterhorn or Everest? (See below what's needed for each!)

We’d love to see your summit attempt, so why not post your progress by sharing your photos using #ConquerTheClimb
Remember, you can complete this challenge either at home on your stairs, or in the great outdoors up a local hill - following the latest Government guidelines, of course.
