Stuart Wood, Midlands Aggregate Sales Executive, recently completed an incredible climb of Mount Toubkal in Morocco to help raise funds for St Giles Hospice.
Back in 2012 St Giles took care of Stuart’s mother in her final weeks so this is a charity that he holds very close to my heart. St Giles offer emotional, physical and practical support for their patients, and those important to them. Whether it’s helping with pain relief, supporting a loved one or just being there to listen, they understand that sometimes it’s the little things that can make the biggest difference.
Stuarts amazing achievement began with a challenging ascent, which involved a 2-day trek with a stop at 3,000m to acclimatise, culminated in reaching the summit at 4,167m (13,670ft) above sea level. His journey began with only two hours of sleep and a start time of 2am to catch the sunrise from the peak.
Stuart is on a final push for sponsorship and hopes you will support. He has self-funded this expedition to ensure all donations go directly to the hospice. For more details and to support Stuart’s cause, please visit his JustGiving page here:
