We "climbed" Everest and raised over £710 for CITC Nepal!

This the press release which will be printed in the County Times, Mid Wales Journal and Brecon & Radnor express next week ( March 8th 2021 ). We are proud of our achievements and remained socially distanced at all times!  

Starting on February 23rd ( Rotary International Day ) 25 members of the Knighton Rotary Club "climbed" Everest to support the "Feverest" Challenge set by the educational charity Classrooms in the Clouds ( CITC Nepal ) based in the Everest region of Nepal.

As Knighton Rotary President Margaret Thorp said "We have supported this charity for many years and all the money donated goes towards building classrooms, schools and educating teachers in this very rural area of Nepal" 

The Rotary members cycled, walked, jogged and climbed the height of Mt Everest ( 8.8 km ) in one day or over a few days to raise a total of over £710 for Classrooms in the Clouds. Knighton Rotary Treasurer Kim Smith said today " We are very appreciative of the support of everyone who donated their time and their money to this excellent charity. It has been a challenging climb but we are proud to have risen to the Feverest Challenge"
